As service for those who are missing the references: - BFDL = Benevolent Dictator for Life, which was used as the humorous title expressing the Python's community's trust in Guido van Rossum's leadership in Python development. Dima's use of the phrase "(not so B)FDL" insinuates that my work on Sage is not done with good intentions.
- vote-derailer - repeats Dima's accusation in https://groups.google.com/g/sage-devel/c/sVeu16vaEqo/m/gUr4lhZkAQAJ - 5-year plan (appeared in https://groups.google.com/g/sage-devel/c/sVeu16vaEqo/m/D4pewORzAQAJ and previously in https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/35404#issuecomment-1505048255) = refers to a practice of the Soviet union introduced by Stalin and later by other countries in the Eastern Bloc. The first Soviet 5-year plan led to millions of deaths by famine. This reference is particularly offensive because both Dima and I grew up in the Eastern Bloc. https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md On Wednesday, May 31, 2023 at 3:20:56 AM UTC-7 Dima Pasechnik wrote: > > > On Wed, 31 May 2023, 08:12 Kwankyu Lee, <ekwa...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I think the voting should be about the policy about when to drop old >> python from sage support.
