I had referred to:
Ah... so you're actually refering to the obscenity in the package name? That's a good question. We generally want to keep things "family friendly" but in this case both the program and the programming language it implements have that name. I'd lean towards allowing it but you might want to open a ticket here and the full FPC can consider it:
So do I. It's how its parents have named their child. We may like it or not, nevertheless, Fedora should react as grown-ups and respect their choice, unless the name would be illegal in juristictions applicable to Fedora.
That said, I can only guess on the reasons for their choice, probably they haven't quite quit puberty and "find it cool" or they mean their choice as some sort of provocation/attention-teaser.
The later would mean, if Fedora is taking special means, Fedora went into the trap they set up. - IMO, they should be treated with the amount of attention they deserve: An arbitrary package amongst 1000s of others ;)
