I love that they have scoped labels while GitHub still doesn’t

the alternative is that they don’t sell replacement parts at all

maybe I’m misunderstanding, but isn’t the corresponding alternative in this case “you can use parts from any manufacturer you want”?

nah. it may not be a huge deal (esp. if you’re male) and “screaming” might be exaggerating it, but “keep personal politics out of code” is classic “I consider your existence political”.

I’m happy to see if the guy’s politics has changed in the years since this happened, and I don’t know if their involvement in the project is worthy of a boycott, but those are personal choices (and the relevant comment was even helpfully linked).
