First off, I am not interested in having an argument about the CoC changes regarding pronouns. Nor am I interested in debating mod resignations as a result of that. Those discussions should go somewhere else. I'm asking for clarification, not starting a war over the policy itself.

I saw this suggested edit. Here is what it did - it replaced 'him' with 'them'. It did not improve (edit) the post other than that.

If only one user needs read/write access, you can make him them the owner of the mounted directory using the option uid=<linux_username>:

I found this answer that states gender-neutral changes are good, but mass editing isn't. And this edit doesn't change anything else, so that doesn't provide any clarity. One high-rep user voted to approve it, one voted to reject the edit.

I do have an opinion, but I'm not going to share it here

So which is it? Should these edits be approved or rejected?

Should 'he' to 'they' edits be accepted?
