Looks like the latest release is named after Prigozhin. Yeah, probably that one, although I couldn't find anything in the mailing list to confirm it.

edit: all releases are named after current political events:

Looking at the release history it may be that the releases are named after some front page daily news headline or something.

Even so, knowingly naming a release after a war criminal is very off-putting.

[folmar]

It shall not be. It is a notability indication, not endorsement, just take a look at other release names from the time of the war. Or compare to Time's "Person of the year".

[jnsaff2]

I get the system. It's just a bad system.

The author is having musk-ish type of fun and that's their freedom. My freedom is to feel disgust by seeing mass murderers, even if they are treated equal to not controversial topics.

Does 'Приго́жин' relate somehow to infamous 'Евгений Пригожин'. Or am I just biased?

[pneumic]

Prigogine/Prigozhin is a not-uncommon Russian-Jewish name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prigozhin

[computerfriend]

Yeah, I think it does.

[folmar]

Yes it does. See sibling comment by 5e92cb50239222b:
