The problem here is that what was probably inserted as a cute little
joke could have ramifications on a corporate user, not necessarily
because the user is affected, but because some easily-offended coworker
sees a screensaver that the user did not even know contained such
material. And, yes this is Fedora and not Red Hat Enterprise; but I use
Fedora Core 2 at work, not Red Hat Enterprise, and if it's going to have
something that might offend someone's delicate sensibilities, I'd like
to know so that I can decide whether or not to take appropriate
measures.
The problem is not just with Fedora Core; it is also in RHEL 3. I am introducing RH into a culture only used to Solaris and Windows, so my Linux activities get a lot of attention from my co-workers. I have the coolest screensavers on my desktop RHEL machine. However, I was embarrased one day when a vulgar word was pointed out to me in the barcodes screensaver. I decided to recompile and distribute a new version of the screensaver to the few boxes around.
It wasn't that anyone was offended, but it was certainly not "professional". It isn't appropriate for a commercial setting, especially in an environment where our customers are government and military.
