The point of the commit log is so that someone can skim descriptions
rather than having to read through the diff of commits.

The reason for this post was less to single out something specific, but
rather to ask the question "should we ask that commit descriptions have
a minimum level of descriptiveness?" For that reason, it's pretty
essential that it be publicly discussed.

I also don't think anyone was particularly impolite, so I don't see your
reason for the focus on that word.
