Please use a more appropriate language/wording. While you and me might find the l33t way of expressing yourself quite humorous, not all users of coreboot do.
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)?
We had this problem before; all it brought us was people going back to legacy 16bit firmware.
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.
