elasticdog / genhost Goto Github PK

Hi,
I have used genhost for a while now, but reacted when it returned the suggested hostname develop. While this is a perfectly usable word in the context of the mnemonic word list, it has quite strong associations in the context of non-service tied hostnames.
So, my suggestion is to do a curation of the list. I have gone through my local genhost and removed a number of words that might be confusing in our local context. To simplify discussions, I did split the list into discrete categories. The middle list are words that feels more subjectively confusing to me, and I have removed them from my list, but that might not be objectively confusing.
My suggested action is that we discuss for a bit if and which words that are subject to removal, after which I can summarize the decision as a pull request.
