>>There's no language problem here.
It's generally a religious term, and the religious meaning is probably what gives it such emphasis, so, out of respect for religion(s), I generally avoid such terms. Seems to be a pattern in GNU'ish Linux:

GNOME: Adwaita - Sanskrit - oneness - with the Supreme
GNOME: epiphany - manifestation of a divine being
"Bourne Again" shell
St. Ignucious
...
...

I've coresponded with Mr. Stallman over the years. He appears to be an excellent software engineer.

If Linux wants to grow and compete in the actual professional marketplace, I suggest professional terminology that stays away from using religous terminology.

>> It was a friendly opinion. Please assume good faith.
Yes, I basically understood, although when one has never met someone, it can add a bit of harshness to the opinion. I am simply sharing yet another suggestion here. It's a free country, speak as you wish, and we also have freedom to ignore/disengage. 

>> Rightly. Or testing maybe?
Sincerely and respectfully to you and all Debian, I'm typing from Arch using GNOME Web (same base as Safari). The latest GNOME is excellent! 

It dawned on me that Debian's main market is probably server, and absolutely, as I had said, the stability for server is to praised and appreciated. I always wanted to have the same distribution for desktop and server but I see that may not be neccesary. On  my dedicated server, I still have Trixie. One thing I don't like is different package managers, though.

> Cheers,
Thanks for responding, and Cheers to you :-)
