OK I seem to have missed that.

Really? Changing a name has way less of an effect then removing a
package (ok removing the package was the "last resort") but still.

But anyway my point was rather we have been inconsistent in enforcing
this "rule" anyway because everyone else have different opinions on
what "offending" means (see Matthews reply) ... so trying to come up
with a definition wouldn't really work because some people would be
well ... offended ... by the definition of "offended" ... so lets not
open this can of worms.
