Comment 2 for bug 1882937

I mean this with all possible sincerity and gentleness, but this is a really silly thing to change. I definitely do not support making any changes like this, now or ever. The value is just so low (it isn't even public), and the chances of breaking something doing a "simple" mass-replace are non-zero. In fact, the patch here would break something were it not for the fact that the broken code is already commented out.

I see this similar to how I see the use of "daemon" (though the way that term came about is somewhat convoluted) and some other sketchy terms used throughout computing and engineering. They may be done in poor taste, but certainly not malicious. Computer programmers are not the most tasteful bunch, and never will be, and clarity trumps everything. As well it should, since it is so darn hard to make things clear.

Finally, distractions such as this bug also contribute to the harm caused by this manner of oversensitive thinking, first preventing you and now preventing me from doing something of shared value. It is a road best not taken.
