Come again? I can see no other link in the verbage with the

it from me to demand one. So whatever.
It's possible that this wasn't explained clearly enough in the commit
message itself (though I would argue it was definitely adequately
explained in the ensuing on-list discussion, and wonder how much of
that discussion you've actually read), but the point is that the
*whole idea* of "standard English" is tied to white supremacy, not
any particular standard whether via its authors or otherwise.
As I said in my preamble, it doesn't matter whether you believe that is
true or think it's utter bollocks. I asked the question to get the
Steering Council's opinion, not anyone else's. If you collectively
really must rehash the arguments again, please have the decency to do so
in a different thread.
