It's not censorship, it's decency. It's time to add a "offendme" FEATURE similar to the "offensive" USE flag. Unsetting the FEATURE should add --exclude '*fuck*' --exclude '*bitch*' --exclude '*evoluion*', etc. to the rsync command line. Boy, I'd love to see that implemented :)) Also add dev-libs/hashit to the list. The last 4 letters are way too offensive.
