  Strictly speaking, the name has four x's.  While that will still suffer 
the same potential filtering consequences, I don't believe fourex is 
anywhere near production-grade.  I personally wouldn't recommend it to 
anyone until it's been hammered on for a while.  Maybe then it'll be 
released under a different, more professional, name.
  On the other hand, we're talking about a distribution whose development 
branch was named "corona."  Not to mention some of the messages in the 1.0 
installer.
