Using your 'common sense' how does this fit into the 'clean language' policy? From my point of view if that package name is allowed then the policy is unenforcable.

This is one of the reasons why the English language is so complex. When I make a statement referencing "brainfuck", I'm referencing the name of a language, regardless of what words comprise the name. The usage of our friendly, four-letter word in the name itself is not intended to be vulgar in the same context as calling someone an "f'ing idiot" </self censorship>. In this case, the latter is the violation that should be taken care of. The former deserves a slight chuckle at best.


Users/devs in the channels should be judged not on what words are spoken, but on how the words are spoken. It's the intent that matters most.
