FYI - there's nothing "anti-inclusive" about East/West.

In Qt I proposed a change which added properties to an object. Those properties in my change were named "Left"/"Right". The reviewer objected to those names because "scripts which are not Right-to-Left exist". So the reviewer required the names be changed to "First"/"Second". Very similar to that claim that East/West is somehow a marker of "Supremacy". Of course, even "First"/"Second" can be painted as "Supremacist" by someone sufficiently motivated.

Names shouldn't be chosen based on who makes claim to offense on behalf of some other group or population. If you decide to do that, then you can't use Left/Right either, nor First/Second.

Please restore East/West as options. People can use whichever the want in their config depending on what they are least offended by, if that's what they want to make decisions based on.
