I think that´s the big problem here. You might could do, but for the 
case it *happens*, the project is in the greased. If so, there would be 
a big flame on a mailing list of your desire, and other religion´s 
people would might be feel offended.

This could happen today, or tomorrow but even not for the next 2000 years.

So, there´s way B: Ask *before* packaging, and create an big hill of 
emails for this topic. Also here, some people (fundamentalists) might 
feel offended as well,

so, anyway we do it, we will be the losers...
