We've removed ports before because we don't believe they reflect well on
the project. However, the examples you cite are lame. None of them that I
could tell rise to the same level as what we're talking about. In no case,
except maybe the fortune ones, does the project curate a number of
disparate views that omits other views. Resorting to this extreme level of
"what about"ism isn't helpful in having a rational discussion.
