There are complaints about the joke in abort section being low-quality. 
2.28 will include this comic content, so improving quality is desired. 
Discussion about this solution starts at

Quote from relevant standard:
In business and in life, a sense of humor is an essential
characteristic.

Please abide by the intent of the cool down period over this content.

Please repost in August after the 2.28 release.

Please do not ignore objections again.[1] Please be coherent with your
statement about making 2.28 the best glibc release possible.

Nay, sir. I am already following your directions.[2] I will ping on a
weekly basis until I deem my contribution ignored enough time.

In the meantime, you may wish to downvote opinions like this one:

I support the idea of a cooling-off period; please join me in
supporting it too.
