I'm afraid I couldn't disagree more. Since the PSF has seen fit to make a political statement (re Black Lives Matter, and I don't particularly disagree with either the statement or the choice of making it), threads like these are both inevitable and necessary. When such statements are made, it is generally a good idea to be reasonably sure that the community one is representing is broadly OK with that statement. (I speak in vague terms because you will never get 100% agreement from anyone on anything!) The commit message that sparked this all was, quite unnecessarily, a political statement. The threads have demonstrated that it is not even vaguely universally accepted, so it being in the PEPs repository (not just a PR, it's there, public, and effectively representing you and me) is a problem. That it's still there now is pretty unacceptable in my book. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
