it's "basic human decency" if you're in favor and "political correctness" if you're not. Both refer to an external virtue/sin. This lkml conflict would be addressed with statistics, that is: It would be so nice if we could give evidence that the culture improves the kernel's quality, or hurts it. I have no opinion on whether it is or isn't "just basic human decency" or "the insidious threat of political correctness." I do think that if the kernel "succeeds" (for whatever definition of that) that we'll retroactively decide we defended against political correctness. And vice versa.
