Agreed. I think we were OK with the phrase, but when I saw the hat on
the elephant, that associated the phrase with Mao too closely, and too
closely with the tens of millions killed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward#Deaths_by_starvation
Effectively, this is the same as saying, "Postgres 9: The Final
Solution" and putting a Nazi arm band on the PG elephant.
As you can tell, I am not happy with this, and have stated it privately
already to the people involved. If we are going to be a professional
organization, we should not be making mistakes like this.
