The connection is between an Eskimo (builder) and an Igloo (structure). That is the intent here, used as an analogy.

Edit: No further comments on this, other than I don't see people ranting about a Yeoman... The only imagery shared is a pair of snow shoes and an igloo. Thanks for your feedback!

Analogy or not, I'm not sure how appropriate it is. Try substituting the name of your framework with other ethnicities and see how it feels.

Even here in Alaska, where the name isn't considered offensive, I'd hesitate to name a project after a group of people, especially when the term's acceptability varies.

Anyone can build an igloo.

Would you call it an Indian (builder) and a Tipi (structure)?
