This is an excellent question and I dug around on the website looking for an answer too. I have _no idea_.

Presumably, as a release, it should be installed?

The website has a wonderful semi-retro esthetic, a noticeable political stance, and a sense of humour, and I wonder if the naming is related.

from the #cat-v irc channel, this is a loose reference to Three Body Problem when the trisolarans sent a message to earth saying DO NOT REPLY.
