Some are calling for an end to eponyms and a commission that would review and replace animal names named for repugnant or evil people, for instance Anophthalmus hitleri. Presumably names that refer to characteristics that some find offensive also be up for changing if this came to pass. Would love an episode/installment on your take on this question and the recent paper by members of the ICZN stating that the body that creating such a body would be unworkable and is outside the purview of the Code and their constitution.
