Yup, same here. A good prank on Apr 1 is perfectly in keeping with the
finest UNIX traditions. It is the humorless scolds who should be
suspected.

Seeing the poo flinging on this mailing list over a April Fool gag
reminded of the Fedora code name antics in the "Beefy Miracle" incident
that eventually ended the whole release code names entirely. Useless
snowflakes that "just couldn't even!" kept squalling until the
corporate types stepped in and ended the game.

Yes this is serious work but it also has to be fun or people aren't
going to want to do it.
