I have been around long enough to remember when in 2004 a very prominent
developer of Chinese origins hurriedly left the project when the
d-i (?) team refused to mention Taiwan in the way he preferred.
So, there is not much that we have not already seen...

I am late to this thread, so I will just say that:

- people complaining about "cancel culture" are often idiots
- I have other fights to deal with
- the outcome is sad
