I'm reminded of when some Christian groups called for a boycott of  
Apple because they had an OS project code-named "Darwin."  Some people  
will just go out of their way to look for reasons to take offense.

I'm reminded that the SATAN network scanner project used to ship a  
utility with the source code that would patch it to rename it  
"SANTA".  I suppose someone could fork a new BSD distribution with an  
angel for a logo, to mollify these sorts of people.  Call it  
BlessedBSD (BleSseD?) or something. ;)
