Maybe we should just remove all of the words from everywhere so we can be sure
never to offend anyone. :-) FWIW, I seem to remember a thread, where in some
non-english speaking country the word Fedora was offensive. Where does this
kind of stuff stop?

OTOH, I suppose worthless threads like these are a good sign things are working
pretty much as expected, otherwise there would not be time to debate this kind
of stuff. :-)
