And part of that is understanding when those perspectives are valuable and when they are irrelevant noise. I'd wager (but have no way of proving) that the quality of the Linux kernel has not been negatively impacted by a lack of people who get upset over word choice. Culture ownership is a thing, and Linus and team were there first. Oncomers need to adapt, or go elsewhere. They certainly don't need to provide this constant distraction.

> quality of the Linux kernel has not been negatively impacted I don't think that would be a good argument to make from either perspective. If people who choose to leave the community don't contribute you can't really measure lost contribution. That not being the crux of the issue, we should focus on the following. Just because a product is successful does not mean that the abuse that happens during development of that product is good or okay. And I think that's really the gist of what people are saying.
