Ah okay, I remember this. I'm not sure the they were proved right that conclusively - from my neck of the woods it seemed like it invented issues where there weren't any previously. And maybe that was the point - I wasn't involved. But where I was, the terminology wasn't controversial until it was, and that seemed to be a choice (maybe by Github to follow social convention).
