1:20 PM EST 		FOSS has had a number of bad names recently, like "Clutter".

This one, however, goes way beyond anything acceptable. I can't see myself, helios, lcafiero, or anyone really, trying to explain Free as in Freedom software to people, then telling them about the "pooper".

If the GNOME desktop people decide to include this... thing, they'll have to change its name, or suffer the consequences.
