For what it's worth, I didn't intend to imply that phrasing it as "init
diversity" was offensive, exclusionary or a code-of-conduct issue, it
hadn't occurred to me that someone might interpret my message that way,
and I'm sorry that my phrasing didn't make that clear.
Chris and Ian expressed what I was trying to say better than I could.
