I find it funny and irreverent. There probably never will be an IPv8 so there's no need to worry about a naming conflict.

I'm all for funny names but this one seems like it would just cause more confusion than it's worth. The fact that they list it as the sole FAQ probably means that many folks have been confused.

I hereby request that they change the project name to one of the not-too-perilous-but-frequently-selected-references-to-Monty-Python for a very silly name indeed.
