I did, too.

Actually, I'm very surprised others didn't recognize the fine joke on Knuth and the traditional K* KDE naming scheme. I find it not only funny, but also touching. Kudos to the guy who came with the idea.

I think only some ppl got the joke, eg those who where involved in the huge 'goto is or is not evil' discussion on KDE-DEVEL ;-)
