I wish the topics here on HN would include a bit more context so it wasn't necessary to click on each link to find out what the post was about.

I love these sort of naming derivations, and it shows a certain creativity and irreverent humor found in the free software world. I wish that naming was a simpler aspect of software development -- often times it's the ultimate form of bikeshedding.




The name of the post was originally something like "etymology of Debian package names", but an admin decided that they did not like that name and changed it.
