Sad that the article fails to mention what proportion of people of color are employed by GitLab, how that number is evolving, and what steps they're taking to avoid actual discrimination ; as well as their policies regarding the role of contemporary forced labor in their hardware supply chain. (It's entirely possible they're doing the best they can on those fronts, too.)
Such a renaming is clearly a "long hanging fruit", and a way to start a conversation.
I can't entirely shake up, though, that though that any minute discussing the naming of git branch repositories is not spent on discussing slavery and racism. Which I'm unfortunately not qualified to do.
