Whatever floats your boat, but why should everyone have to comply with the most thin-skinned and sensitive of the group?

This clutching at pearls is, from my viewpoint, very silly.

I suppose it's easier to just go along to get along, but sometimes I feel like it's reasonable people in the middle who are constantly giving (to both sides of the political spectrum).

In my opinion, this is not an issue of people who are sensitive to the f-bomb, it's an issue of professionalism in a professional application. After all, people who would be sensitive to the f-bomb to the point where they would actually be offended by it wouldn't exactly be participating in any community populated by people over the age of 7, right? The issue here is that the author of the sources was obviously not being professional, and the existence of these statements were not offensive, but off-putting, especially when you consider that OpenJDK was made by a legitimate corporation that isn't exactly known for joking around.

I'm puzzled by the term "legitimate corporation" in this context.

Feels like a true scotsman.
