I claim that their moral value /is/ definable in the context of a particular mythology even if they don't exist. In the case of the Christian religion, demons are generally believed to be evil. The Christian religion also has plenty of fundamentalists willing to bash a project merely on the force of the connotations of its name, as this thread has demonstrated. I'm not convinced that this is a valid reason to shun demons as codenames for Debian operating systems, though. Cameron.
