I'd caution against this. Just like if we named a release "QGIS 3.16
Jesus Christ" or "QGIS 3.18 L Ron Hubbard" or "QGIS 4.0 - Santa
Claus", this naming would raise difficult cultural issues which are
easier to just avoid.

I think we could come up with a name with a similar intention/message
whilst avoiding the tricky spiritual contentions this particular one
raises.
