 Howdy @lucasmdo and welcome to trac!

 `Howdy` has a long tradition of being in WordPress. It's a part of the
 flavor of WordPress. It helps set the tone and humanizes the experience of
 using WordPress.[https://wordpress.tv/2011/09/07/daryl-koopersmith-
 decisions-not-options/ This WordCamp talk from a committer emeritus] lays
 out why it's valuable and thus should absolutly stay. It's also something
 that a number of localizations get to have some fun with to really make
 WordPress feel at home.  [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev
