Hear, hear.
Personally I find the very name Apache a little uncomfortabl. I get the
joke about it being a patchy server (although now the ratio of original
NCSA code to `new' code is so miniscule as to invalidate the patch theme
anyway, imho), but the relevance of an http server to the Apache nation
escapes me (and the symbolizing of the Apache nation with a feather
strikes me as stereotypical at best).

I concur wholeheartedly.
