I wonder how all this will affect the tendency of various people in the different Python communities to use Monty Python references in their materials. Making references to Romans, particularly visiting dignitaries, might be more trouble than it's worth.

I dunno. Adria *is* a plausibly Latinate name, heck very close to that of at least one notable emperor. (I can't help noticing the social context of names here. The whole personality of said emperor seems to shift if you modernize his name by removing the first letter: Emperor Adrian...)
