- jnsaff2 3y agoLooking at the release history it may be that the releases are named after some front page daily news headline or something. Even so, knowingly naming a release after a war criminal is very off-putting.
- folmar 3y agoIt shall not be. It is a notability indication, not endorsement, just take a look at other release names from the time of the war. Or compare to Time's "Person of the year".
