      Certainly. They set the precedent that open source software should capitulate immediately to any authoritarian demand.

      EDIT : I guess people haven’t read facing fascism :

        What a shocker, such an optional date field indeed seems like a grave menace to all of the freedoms. You should make a merge request with an optional field for an user’s income, so that we may hunt the billionares and exterminate that vvermin with such powerful optional fields.
