In short, they acknowledge the possible confusion but honestly I think we are getting way too hypersensitive here in America.
Out of curiosity, if everyone saying the word Bro has a negative connotation could state where they are I have a suspicion this is a predominately California thing.
If we keep treating words with such distaste we are basically just practicing a form of newspeak or censorship. Is it possibly deserved? Maybe, but I think we are overreacting here to be honest.
This is an OLD project, saying it should change just to appease the pathos of certain programming communities seems premature.
