That was my immediate thought as well.

Profoundly and deeply unsavory.

You are offended by the name of an open source project ?

Names have symbolic value beyond the intended referent. Typically, wisdom dictates choosing names that aren't immediately offensive out of the gate.

I won't speculate on whatever led you to such fatuous conclusions, because ad hominem is a bad reasoning.

I'm really sorry you don't approve the name.

I don't have a stake in this argument. But nice signaling attempt.
