Sorry, I just added a link to https://ebpf.io https://ebpf.io. Although I suspect that will also annoy people as it doesn't explain the BPF acronym: The reason is that we're now treating BPF as a technology name (like LLVM) and not an acronym, as the historical acronym (Berkeley Packet Filter) is plain confusing.
I think the real problem is that BPF was built by engineers without professional marketing help, who would have come up with a better name!
