    Jesus christ people in the comments here are pathetic. This clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs or otaku culture. It’s a play on the totally normal english word “tycoon” which just means “very rich businessman” and “mogul” which is a synonym for “magnate”. You can look these up, every half-decent dictionary has these words. They probably changed it because “coon” is a slur for black people and they didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings. If any of this offends you, please, please just step outside, touch some grass, take a deep breath, relax.

    Okay, so this definitely feels like bad practice to not change the version number or URL, even in something trivial like example texts here. But what real-world significance does this have?

    It almost seems equivalent to just changing a variable name based on how it’s being used, which – to be clearshould come with a version bump, but I can’t imagine this having any meaningful impact anywhere.

      None - I don’t know of anyone that parses release names. Versions, yes, absolutely, but silly version release names?

      I came into the comments to see what other reason there was, but it seems it’s a non-story.
