This is a great decision. I think they make an unnecessary case that the nature of data has changed. The real issue is that the use of the word has seen wide adoption and therefore adaptation in the language. Language belongs to who uses it. Corner cases like datum, whom, antennae, etc. are more often used as ways to retrench classism than disambiguate, so I say begone.
