36 I know sudo insults you if you type the wrong password, and I remember
37 the controversy over the Windowmaker themes package (which was an
38 unchecked compilation of previously-existing themes, some of which
39 contained wallpaper featuring nudity-- female, of course-- which was put
40 under the 'offensive' flag not only because it might be personally
41 offensive, but because you might be installing Windowmaker at work, and
42 a random wallpaper or theme change might put you out of a job without
43 you being aware of the possibility that that could happen).
44
45 The others I don't know personally, but are likely similar to one or the
46 other of these cases as appropriate.
