"Here's a list of known cases; if you're on this list, please fix". This is, er, not exactly Kafkaesque soulless bureaucracy;

I believe this list has repeatedly explained in the past that "one person gets outraged over a non-issue" does not mean "so everyone else should bend over backwards to avoid them getting outraged". Otherwise, we'd never get anything done.
