Yep. GitHub probably spent more on the "master -> main" rename than on offering free education to disadvantaged people of color. (Though they like to parade open source's impact as their impact https://socialimpact.github.com/ https://socialimpact.github.com/ ) However the community did it because it was asked to do it by people. It was fairly easy to do, it was clear and well defined. So why not? The ask was very likely sincere, even if it was useless in the grand scheme of things. Should the community (git maintainers, various project maintainers) score every request based on its social impact or take requests at face value? (I'd argue that they have to do a little bit of both, and if something is a low-hanging fruit, eg. big impact low effort, then why not do it?)
