After googling "offensive variable name" i got to: "Fix use of offensive word in kafka receiver factory_test" https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/2286 which led to "changed variable name in kafka receiver" https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/2288/files/c16ff3d61ac966534590585477934eddaeb6b129 Above Github issue indicates that there are blacklists maintained: "Automated security scanners flag the use of this variable name as a potentially offensive word" But of course the use of a blacklist is a problem too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklist_%28computing%29#Controversy_over_use_of_the_term https://www.theregister.com/2019/09/03/chromium_microsoft_offensive/ Whatever, the use of controversial words in publicly visible code is not an indication of a professional attitude. Overdoing juvenile enthusiasm for provocation might lead to a result like with the "weboob" package which got removed from Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907199 Have a nice day :) Thomas
