This comment section is remarkable. If the name change is perceived to be in order to be welcoming to corporate, nobody has a problem with that. Imagine if the name change was perceived to be in order to be more welcoming to underrepresented people. We would have endless discussions about pc culture, and how the name is not bad at all, etc...

Makes sense, considering HN has plenty of people from corporations and more or less no people from marginalized groups.

? Seems like there's plenty of disagreement on the name here.

Do you have an example of when a name change has generated such discussions?
