Wow, so the word police brought down Reddit. Why on earth did someone think it a good idea to screw with existing names in running clusters in a cluster management tool?
I wonder if they realised that banning a few words wasn't really helping their cause.
I wonder if perhaps twitter's new ownership (and decrease in moderation) has impacted their activities? I wonder if perhaps it was an effort led by twitter employees because that sort of thing leads to greater use of twitter?
So by 'word police' you mean 'admins who didn't bother to read the release notes for the last two years and just deployed straight to production while ignoring the release notes'.
Whatever your politics, breaking changes happen. Not reading the release notes and checking to see if anything affects you is just incompetence.

On a very critical system, I wanted to use a newer python module that fixed a very annoying bug in the much older version we were running. Of course the module required a much newer version of python too. I upgraded everything and found that a function in a built-in module I had been using was entirely deprecated, very bad since it was used all over my code. I ended up writing my own module to overload the deprecated function into the new proper way of doing what I needed with only a simple change to my import statements. If I had just properly read over change logs and ran the update on a dev system, I wouldn't have any downtime since I could have made a fix early.
But in the five or so years we ran that distro the control plane didn’t fail once. Posts like this make me glad I pushed for it.
I'm still waiting for people to rename "white paper".
