> I personally don't mind deletion of antivax stuff because I'm not antivax

The term antivax is a problem.

Very few people are actually anti all vaccines, and nobody should be pro all vaccines for everyone all the time. There have been actual truly failed vaccines, are you "antivax" if you wouldn't volunteer to take them? Should articles about past failed vaccines be censored from the internet? Of course not.

The term is sloppy and careless, but people love it, probably because it lets you be part of a team. But everybody means something different by it.

Nobody should presume any new implementation of a class is good just because there have been previous successful implementations. Reality doesn't make things so easy for us.
