The problem (imo) is projecting/tying relations and social interactions (past and present) between people onto machine code (and nowadays also everything else) instead of explaining that there is no connection (the idea itself to declare that black is bad and white good for everything is absurd (was mentioned as an argument) - different cultures/nations have wildly wide range symbolisms regarding colors and now for some reason there is suddenly only one?). But if current (php) code is considered harmful/offending the next proposal/rfc should be to remove every "kill child/parent" fpm (possibly other sapis) /pcntl,posix (kill_children() from the tests) also die() and *_execute etc. as no sane person would agree that it's even remotely normal not to say more. rr
