I don't agree with the message. I think changing master to main is neutral at best. At best. Once again, I'm just not a baby. Maybe that's not the discourse standard people are used to, but it is language I think we can all understand.
No. Well, I'm not, anyway - despite my skin in the game (https://zahlman.github.io/politics/the-psf/2024/07/31/an-ope...). But I am going to offer harsh criticism of those who abuse their platforms.
This sort of thing is nothing new in Python circles. It notably led to Jack Diederich's resignation from the PSF in June 2020 (https://discuss.python.org/t/the-psf-should-be-less-politica...) and may have contributed to the mass exodus of core devs in November 2020.

My understanding is that a higher standard of discourse is expected on HN.
Also, I rather suspect your tone would be different if you didn't happen to agree with the message. Please consider that such bias is not in keeping with the spirit of the free exchange of ideas or the core principles of open source.

Yes. This page is the official, primary means by which the Python team announces a new release of Python. That's kind of a big deal.
