ok, but what do you talk about, Elijah? Here ault men talk about serious things. If you have something to say on the topic, you are welcome. You can do it in any form - we will try to understand you. Otherwise, please don't waste our time. The ethics club is elsewhere.

Elijah, it would be a lot more helpful if you read the thread. Here not only me already wrote about various reasons why this change is bad. And we didn't see at least one technical reason why this is good. Just politics speaches.

Two really important reasons:
1. This setting need to *very-very small* count of people.
2. The future default value of this setting will break *many* projects and
   people stable workflow.
 
So, why we need this? Because now one country have some *internal* troubles
(this is sad, but the code isn't to blame for this)? And why the whole world
need to suffer from this situation? I think some people here don't understand
the moment. Don't understand the consequences. This project is not your
personal project, Elijah. It isn't even american. Why billions of people
should to suffer? Because of white american's chauvinism? I think some people
here don't understand the responsibility to the world for their actions.

If anybody is intrested in git users opinion(not github PR-man or PR-man of any other monster company), then he can simply read it here:

Elijah, my english is bad, i can't understand this document. Sorry. I think this is a discrimination of non-english speakers. Why no translations?
