I don't care about religion, and nobody cares what it means in other places. Words are polysemic, and karma has been used for rating systems for decades. It's the same as master/slaive, master/main, blacklist/blocklist, etc.

Although at least Michael has not trolled us by changing the Like button to Karma. I probably shouldn't give him such ideas.

Is it actually insensitive? Given programming sins, C++ bibles and BSD daemons? For me this is a remnant of the early hacker culture, which was actually honestly interested in Buddhism, and a contrast to the sterile corporate void in which racism is just a taboo.
And, as a reactive force that keeps post alive, I would say, it is actually pretty close to the theological karma...

Talk about a stupid thing to get bent out of shape about.
Karma is an ancient Indian concept that refers to an action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequences., so from that definition it is perfectly acceptable to rate a proposed change using a rating system symbolized by karma points.
I don't recall any widespread protests from Hindus regarding the use of karma rating systems, so why worry about it?
Have the Fedora devs solved all other Fedora problems, like the fact that it exists in the first place and not they can concentrate on this?
How about working towards dissolving the whole Fedora project so it stops being a stain on the computing landscape and then their karma will skyrocket.

I don't see any politics with the subject itself. Some of the posters here on the other hand...
