The fact this has even reached the point of requiring an RFC is a joke. The fact is the account is
dead and should not be linked to anymore, and it should be clearly communicated that is the state of
the account instead of just being silently abandoned (contradicting the very vocal behavior of those
with the keys who made it quite clear what they were doing and why). It shouldn’t be a discussion
of politics or people flinging about insults about how people choose to engage with social media to
make a decision on whether a link is visible.
