It doesn't matter if you believe speech policing is valid or not. It does and will happen. I mean, look here: right now the top two top-level comments here are about the name, rather than talking about the project itself.

It's irrelevant what should or should not be, in this case. If you want to avoid people discussing potential controversy around the name you've chosen, then don't choose a name that has controversy potential (and if you do that by accident, graciously change it). I'm talking about outcomes here, not about what anyone might think should or shouldn't happen.

Why do you think they chose a controversial name? For fun?
