I have no idea what you are referring to here, but it reminds me to say that I think the name "mutt-kz" is a NO-GO. I know it's from the authors initials, but… to me it sounds like "mutt-hitler" or probably worse.Send complaints to Karel's parents...Every other two-letter sequence is going to mean something dreadful in some language. For example, millions[0] of Poles are offended when you talk about UBSan[1], or MO[2] files, or the .SS macro.These, like mutt-kz, are pure coincidences. For the original argument to hold any water, you'd need to find an _intentional_ example.Like, say, KGB (kgb-{bot,client}). And here, despite it being a vile murderous organisation (and far more murderous before name change in 1954), I don't see any protests. People see the bot's name as a joke. And I agree.
What about stalin ("extremely aggressive Scheme compiler")?
I find "kgb-*" a good joke and "stalin" distasteful, but I can't
rationally explain the difference in these gut feelings.
But in either case, I wouldn't go as far as to demand package rename or removal.
