Vim 9 will be dedicated to Sven Guckes
Sven was my friend.  I knew him well.  He was one of the first people in the tech scene I met when I first came to Berlin in 2007.I don't think we should be honoring him, though, because he was, despite being my friend, not a very good person:https://twitter.com/deborianerin/status/1495636848722513920https://twitter.com/deborianerin/status/1495645190832463872https://twitter.com/twena/status/1495537875651371012https://twitter.com/deborianerin/status/1495673397296218113These tweets were posted today, but those of us that knew him well have known of these issues for years.I have as a point of pride many "problematic" friends; my friendship with someone is not approval of every (or even any) action they undertake in life.I do not approve of this dedication, as Sven was a good example of the kind of people who make the f/oss community worse, not better.  We as a community can do much better than explicitly endorsing those who would cause our scene to be unsafe and unwelcoming to young women.
