Interesting naming decision it's actually a swear word in russian and given that top contributors are obviously familiar with the lang. that is not a coincidence.

Indeed, I was going to point out that it may be an innocent mistake, like a decade old "Fedora for Raspberry PI" blunder. But now I've had a close look at the list of contributors, I cannot stop thinking it is an exquisite trolling!

Probably Pidora, which is also not an inviting name in Russian (connotation with "fag").
