I completely agree. However, there's a difference between calling for a
change, and expressing one's personal taste. The later can be useful
feedback, the former tramples the progress of a patch series.

Agreed. My only concern is readability, nonetheless a poorly readable
commit message is not a road-blocker.


What should not be debatable is that this is a software project, it
should not concern itself with linguistic debates. The proper use of
language is a matter for others to decide.

If a member of the community expresses her/his personal taste that Y is a
better word than X, that's fine. But to *demand* a word change is
something else.

Cheers.
