I strongly object to calling that name l33t. It was not
B4D455_0PT1M124T10N. But I do see your point.

How about UNREASONABLE_OPTIMIZATION? Or OVERBOARD_OPTIMIZATION (although
that can be misunderstood by non-native speakers as referring to a board)?

That sucks. Do you have a specific example as to who had a problem with
which wordings and were the wordings user-visible? IIRC we do have some
strong wordings in the v3 code, but our user/config interface is not
offensive at all. I'm asking because I want to know where the
sensitivities are.
