If you feel uncomfortable then that's your problem, not everyone else's. And as I said, you are free not to use it. Also, "immature jokes" has been the backbones of technology and the hacking community. It's called having a sense of humor. If people are so offended, then why not go create your own distribution with only "non-offensive" software instead of poisoning software that exists. That's what made tech and the open source and hacking community so wonderful. Not everyone has to be boring cookie cutter puritans. Rather than doing that, the puritans are trying to enforce their authoritarian vision on everything. Most of the debian and open source and tech community doesn't care about weboob or the hypersensitive agenda. Why should the community be affected by a tiny handful of puritans?

> If you feel uncomfortable then that's your problem, not everyone else's. And as I said, you are free not to use it. That's a lazy argument, and you know it. "If your offended by me watching porn in my office, that's your problem not mine, feel free not to come in." Or just consider if that package was called the n-word. Would you be upset with Debian for not choosing to distribute that? > Also, "immature jokes" has been the backbones of technology and the hacking community. It's called having a sense of humor. Slavery was the backbone of the American cotton industry. We seem to be under the impression that was a bad thing. Look, we all know that a line exists. You can argue about where is should be, but trying to argue there isn't one is just lazy, and refusing the actually engage in thought. This boils down to one simple thing: Debian chose not to distribute some guys boob joke. Seriously, that's what your mad about? Flip it around, and show me someone coming into the project demanding the name be changed, and I'm on your side. But just because you told a fart joke doesn't mean I have to repeat it. >If people are so offended, then why not go create your own distribution with only "non-offensive" software instead of poisoning software that exists. Feel free to create your own distribution that does. We already have a distribution that cares about this kind of thing. It's called Debian. > Most of the debian and open source and tech community doesn't care about weboob or the hypersensitive agenda. Citation needed.
