You call this a *social* issue? If a birthdate field in the OS is a
social issue, then so is SSL.

What fields come next? Perhaps a field for HIV status. An arrest record
field would be fun. We simply must have Social Security Number and
bank account number fields. To the delight of conservatives, we can
have a "pronouns" field, and liberals will enjoy the "do you display
the American flag" toggle.

Once it gets into our OS, it's not social anymore.

Very soon I'm going to modify the licenses of all the free software
I've authored, making it illegal to use in California, USA. My best
years were spent in LA, but F**K CALIFORNIA for doing this.
