> We disagree on strategy here

Oh, absolutely - and that is fine.

Additionally, we're probably having slightly different conversations - you appear specifically focused on only Github's renaming of the default branch, and I on the more general "hearts and mind" argument - I used Github's action and the criticism thereof as a launchpad to a more general problem - perhaps I failed to communicate that clearly.

>> Oh, I think reasoning with our fellow citizens is a wonderful thing

> Your statement of "fuck hearts and minds" doesn't seem to reflect that belief, but I'm happy to take your word for it.

The phrase you quoted better captures my thinking when it's not truncated halfway; the second half of the sentence you elided is the more important half.
