https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISIS_(operating_system) <- "historic"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant
Might I ask what the context of this is?

You can, I posted it in a comment above, but it was a post on the ElementaryOS blog:

While I don't mind Freya as an OS, there's just something about the name Isis.
I also have a thing for Egyptian myth...

If I make a Linux distro, the first codename will be AL-qaeda for I can get free advertisement.

Bit of context for anyone unfamiliar with what happened with ElementaryOS.

My issue with the rename is that it is the name of an ancient Egyptian god.
Albeit the freiya name is getting some favour out of the final fantasy fans.
Freyja is a Norse Goddess. Wikipedia
Well, as the below said, Freyja is a goddess as well, but seriously, do they think everyone is going to ditch Isis as a goddess because it's a not-nice acronym? I'm confused.
