This makes me wonder: how is making a reference to a letter that's 
rather famous in Computer Science history any different that referring 
to any established technical term or concept? Granted not absolutely 
everyone will have heard of that letter, but is it really hostile to 
newcomers to use well-established language of the subject domain that we 
work in when that language isn't, say, sexist or racist?   Is it hostile 
to newcomers to refer to the end-to-end principle?
