Users flagged it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23549072), no doubt because (1) it has been discussed repeatedly in other threads, and (2) the way the question was posted was provocative and inflammatory, which is the worst way to do it if you don't want a flamewar.

You yourself posted a flamewar comment there. Please don't do that on HN. We want curious conversation, not screaming matches.

nope, but the topic is currently debated almost everywhere on the internet... and has been for years. just wanted to see how people thought about the rename. thanks
