What’s offensive with MCP?
2 comments

I don't know but I'm personally triggered by the acronym MVC that is wrongly used by so many programmers.
In the seminal SF movie Tron (1982), MCP stood for "Master Control Program", and it has already been firmly established that "Master" is a problematic word we must expunge from our repositories.
The repository uses it to abbreviate "Model Context Protocol".
No. Like "master" as a branch name, even if it's perfectly fine in this context, as long as it could be suggesting the word use in a problematic context, it should be banned. That's how we banned "master" as a branch name, so why not MCP?

Yes, I mean we should ban all abbrev with M in it /s
