Comment:
Interesting that the template survived for 24 years in the public domain but it became too much in 2023 and yes, cowsay is an *optional* package and the two "offensive" templates needs to be selected explicitly.  Should we scan binaries for potential random offensive words that might appear if the binary is opened up in a hex editor or by mistake cat to a terminal? ;-)

Comment:
it's not a "random offensive word" it's ascii art of a person having sex with a cow and we don't need that here.
