gollark: It would be really bad publicity if they started randomly find-and-replacing in people's repositories, and pretty impractical anyway.
gollark: Also blacklists and a lot of CSS.
gollark: Unrelatedly, I am disappointed to find that Lua won't allow `æ` in identifiers.
gollark: It's ridiculous. They're replacing descriptive language which has been used for ages with different terminology because... what? Someone somewhere might be offended? It's stupid virtue signalling.
gollark: They can't do it to existing repos presumably, it would break things.
