There is a difference between "necessary" and "sufficient". I am (mildly) happy with the name change, but as the author of the piece makes clear, it it not enough in itself, not even close. Maybe you view it as a distraction from real change? However, I'm sure that many of the people publicly dunking on this change have even less interest in more substantial change. GitHub has issues hiring and retaining minorities ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26480024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26480024 ) perhaps they should look at those next.

I'm openly scornful of this change and would absolutely love to see these large companies put their money where their mouth is by putting up meaningful (i.e. large enough to sting them) amounts of cash to create educational and job opportunities for minorities.
