Re:Joyent unfit to lead them? (Score 5, Informative)

He resisted the correction not because he was opposed to the content of the changes, but the way the change was applied. As later explained, one of the guidelines they had was to accumulate small doc changes until they had enough to prevent git-blame from becoming too convoluted, or at least that's what was being said. This was why the initial PR was rejected, and when somebody else merged it in after the rejection, the commit was undone due to contributor politics. It was never about the gender pronouns, but people conveniently disregarded anything stating otherwise and called the contributor sexist and other such things; joyent decided to join in and called him an "asshole", despite, again, this not being about gender pronouns, but the git history. The contributor later explained his position.
