This is insane.
Words are important. Devs will argue over a correct variable name for hours but think names in other places have no meaning
Words are important. Diversity is important.
Changing words like "meritocracy" does not improve diversity.
It is the illusion of diversity, a feel-good opportunity for well-intentioned bystanders.
The true intent is for a small group of highly politically motivated people to gain more control.
The governance documents are about control and changing those documents means a shift in control.
The movement we are seeing here opposes meritocracy on political principle, as part of their worldview.
It does not stop there though.
They believe the only answer for "diversity" to put them in charge, beginning with government documents that reflect their radical worldview, see FreeBSD Code of Conduct.
Even if you support diversity, you have to realize these people do not care about diversity or inclusion, they are little authoritarians who want more power to dictate what people say and whose opinion matters more/less based on immutable characteristics.
We cannot allow authoritarians with such warped views of the world to seize control of key open source projects.
