How is it considered appropriate to name this project Trotsky? Would they name a project Goebbels or Himmler?

Are you seriously equating a Russian revolutionary and the German Third Reich?

Trotsky was a deeply violent, cruel and evil progenitor of the most murderous regime in human history so yes.

He was of the same caliber of mass murder. He was one of the main architects of the red terror that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. The whitewashing of Trotsky and of Lenin does nobody any favors. They were mass murdereres not whitstanding whatever utopia they were dreaming off.

As far as I'm concerned this paper more or less describes HTTP(S) fairly well. The "3.5" address is the domain name that resolves to a meaningful IP address for the L3 domain you are in.

Folks are already using disjoint L3 address spaces with elements like load balancers providing the bridge between the public IP space and their own private IP space. I don't know if you could ever sell me on having more than one "main" IP space though, as I don't entirely understand what purpose that would serve, other than massively complicating the process of understanding what it is you are purchasing connectivity to.

See also RFC 1925, particularly sections 2.6a, and perhaps 2.11 :p

In OPs defence, Winston Churchill, a European hero, is dispised by some in India for having no regard for his British East Indian subjects. Rewriting of history by the victors has, allegedly, untarnished his name significantly, even in the Indian subcontinent.

Exhibit A: 3 million people died of man-made famine in 1943 for which Churchill is widely held accountable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

Similarly, not all Third Reich officers are demonized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_D%C3%B6nitz#Later_years and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Rommel#Posthumous_honour...

This is hilarious and previous HN commenters are in sore need of political reeducation to free them from the bourgeois counter-revolutionary ideology clouding their senses of humor.
