I am at a loss for words.
I can’t contribute to a project that feels this way. The OMC (list at
[1], a picture of some of them at [2] although it includes non-OMC
members) is, in my view, on the wrong side of history. I hope that in
time, the four men who voted against it will develop more – what,
empathy? – and that sometime in the future this PR [3], or similar,
will be merged. Until then, I will do what I have to in order to
insure that Akamai’s needs for FIPS are met and once 3.0 is released,
I will be fully applying my modest talents elsewhere.
I have closed all non-FIPS PR’s, and as soon as I see this message in
my inbox, I will unsubscribe from this list. I can be reached as rsalz
at akamai.com.

What is next, attack the jing/jang colors or renaming the night from
black to colorless?
I think this black/white or master/slave thing is blowing things out of
proportion.
Humans have all kind of colors, including colorless and white. And when
I think of master/slave, it is just a principle - something is
controlling something else. That there was a period where white people
controlled the fate of "black" people is a colorless period in human
history. Which should not be forgotten, but remembered as a period with
lots of wrong doing to other human beings.
I understand that white people should not talk about "negros" or the
like, but colorless people think they can still us this awful word. Now,
who is dictating who? Don't do/say things you would not have it from
others to yourself.
Black is not negative by definition, it is what your mind associate it with.
