I'd say Drepper himself is prior art for glibc shedding tasteless, needlessly offensive jokes that harm the project's public image. If they can do that, they can get rid of this too. There is plenty more work to be done in this area (a few other nasty pieces of work need the boot), but maintaining the positive momentum would be a start.
This joke came from the toilet humour culture of 90s America and should have stayed there, like all other offense-driven development. Even Microsoft grew up. It's time for GNU to do the same.
