    Debian currently has some drama in their ftpmasters team, they argue with the debian project leader, then their team was disbanded in favor of two new teams, then some quit, etc. Seems like the usual open source way of doing things. Hopefully it won’t affect the releases.


  • There is even an IANA RFC for three-letter acronyms (TLAs) (RFC5513), which says:

    "For our usage, we also allow digits within a TLA. Thus, P2P is an
    acronym meaning Purchase to Pay [URL-P2P]. The digits 2 and 4 are
    specially used by clever people who have noticed that, when spoken,
    they sound like the words ‘to’ and ‘for’. Whether this is helpful
    may be left as an exercise for the user considering the brief
    conversation, below.

    A - Do you use the Internet Streams Protocol?
    B - Yes. Do you use ST, too?
    A - No, I use ST2.
    B - That’s interesting. C uses ST2, too.
    A - I have a car horn application called Toot-toot.
    B - Really? Do you use ST2 to Toot-toot, too?"
