"I exercise my authority over Glibc very rarely -- and when I have done so, I have talked with the official maintainers. So rarely that some of you thought that you are entirely autonomous. But that is not the case. On this particular question, I made a decision long ago and stated it where all of you could see it."
All of this over a tasteless abortion joke. It's time for RMS to resign.

@kaniini uhhh can I get some context
@donblanco @waifu @karen @kaniini Yeah, that is one thing - it feels like it's punching up at anti-choicers, rather than down at women?

Hi, yes. This is documentation. Documentation should be straightforward, concise, and easy to read. Attempts at humour, whatever their intent, do not belong. It could be the world's best joke and it still wouldn't belong.

@Aerdan @kaniini @karen @waifu @donblanco TBH, I think that's a separate issue from the tastefulness of the joke itself.
(And, I think *this joke* is another issue from humor in documentation altogether.)
Invoking hot-button political issues deep into technical reference material is... yeah, that's going to be controversial. I lean slightly towards removal, but then I get that the FSF wants to be political here.
@bhtooefr @donblanco @waifu @kaniini @Aerdan it's cool if they wanna be political but maaayybee they should stick to being political about software and software alone
