> One reason of course is "embarrassment" as it's "ugly" code and you want to run a full review and audit and eventually cover private APIs from other modules. That's however solvable.

Make sure there's no offensive variable names and comments left over from that one guy who used to work here.

Everything is offensive today so that is probably a fools errand

Considering that they are distributing other software in source and APIs to closed source that doesn't seem to be an issue for them.

(And maybe not everything is offensive, but un-offensive terms exist?)

All the more reason me not to care. safetyism is destroying society IMO

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f'in what." --Steven Fry
