* manual/startup.texi (Aborting a Program): Remove inappropriate joke.
This complies with the decision of the project leader and primary and
ultimate maintainer, who partially delegated maintainership to myself
and others under certain constraints.
This is also in line with the community-agreed procedures.
It is obvious that we didn't have consensus on a decision to install
that patch, since both sides are still arguing over it.
As for the decision to reverse the deletion, if we even need one to
counter a move that did not have consensus, although nobody else offered
to install the reversal and restore the status prior to the fait
accompli, and some explicitly refused to do so themselves, nobody
objected when I offered to do so. Therefore, by the same reasoning that
led to the mistaken installation of the patch, and after a much longer
wait for objections, I understand there is consensus on my reverting it.
