Many people may not know that in the olden days, a disk was formatted with all bytes in all sectors set to hexadecimal E5 (11100101). When dumped, or looked at with a hex/ASCII editor, the E5 was displayed as 'e' because nobody cared about extended ASCII back then (and Unicode did not yet exist). So to me, a Github repo name with all 'e's is a pretty cool thing.
