To clarify what I mean in relation to that fork - "objectivity" (their
second canon) is arguably a much better ideal to aspire to than our
"neutrality". Things either are, or are not. It's our human failings
that make the ideal impossible and an attempt at neutrality the next
best thing.
So what we did is keep the dross alongside reality, and hope that
references and a neutral POV would suffice to set them apart for the reader.
