Seeing that mypy is under github.com/python/, you can easily argue that it is in fact the standard tool for type-checking python code.

It's actually not likely at ALL. Guido van Rossum said[0] on multiple occasions that it's un-pythonic and it won't happen.
Edit: I didn't see shakna's comment.

Re:Bike-share schemes improve safety; helmet laws do not

I don't necessarily agree with op, but you rarely see cyclists with helmets in amsterdam and other dutch cities where a lot of people use cycling as their default transportation method, and where as a cyclist you have a priority over car drivers, whereas in places like berlin you have much more cyclists wearing helmets, and rightly so. Though I have to say that I myself only wore the helmet while working as a bike messenger, and rarely while not. So obviously on a day where I'll be biking for 6-8 hours I'm more likely to get into an accident, helmet or not.

Organizations still consist of people. An organization that forces it's employees to work with a tool that has a very historically charged name, one which perhaps even degrades the people working, is gonna have much more trouble than the one which threw out the tool because of the name, at least that's my opinion. Imagine a british company asking it's division, in what was a former colony, to work with a tool called colony. You could be a fully technical person who has no regard for how certain words were used historically and just understand them by definition and without the historical context, but then you shouldn't be in a position making managerial decisions which affect your international workforce.

Agree,It's a big turn off for me personally to be honest. And I imagine institues in countries which were once colonized wouldn't be excited about using such a product/project due to fair historical reasons.
