David, I think this a uneeded threat.  rodent's commit might not be
appropriate in some communities, but they do not violate the contract a
developer has with TNF.  I personally find these acronyms neither very
sizzling nor very insulting.  They just exist as they are and listing
them I think is fine.  We are solely the collectors of acronyms,
including them does not mean NetBSD endorses the use of them, I think.
There are probably more offensive (but good) jokes in fortune -o...
