My write-in candidate:
[x] Not offended.  Clean it up anyway.  It's unprofessional in the extreme
and can only result in embarassment and trouble.

But in the interest of democracy, I offer the following additional vote
category (to be clear, this is NOT my vote):
[ ] Offended by its tameness.  Change the project name to "Cygpr0n" and add
packages of pron videos, jpgs, and fan fiction.

Do the right thing Corinna/Chris/Whoever.
