I remember arguing to keep the word 'suicide' in due to breaking API changes it would cost to fix it. They made the change and it ended up breaking a bunch of modules and also was way more of a headache to implement. All because a word that is not a great choice.

That's messed up, seems they witnessed the python django community removing the word slave in reference to databases from docs due to it being a word with a weighted impact and said 'hold my beer...'.
