I'm afraid I couldn't disagree more. Since the PSF has seen fit to make
a political statement (re Black Lives Matter, and I don't particularly
disagree with either the statement or the choice of making it), threads
like these are both inevitable and necessary. When such statements are
made, it is generally a good idea to be reasonably sure that the
community one is representing is broadly OK with that statement. (I
speak in vague terms because you will never get 100% agreement from
anyone on anything!)
The commit message that sparked this all was, quite unnecessarily, a
political statement. The threads have demonstrated that it is not even
vaguely universally accepted, so it being in the PEPs repository (not
just a PR, it's there, public, and effectively representing you and me)
is a problem. That it's still there now is pretty unacceptable in my book.
