One release every 4 years. So this is like monit or systemd-supervisord and so on, a process manager. I have to say the thing I most enjoy about it is the fact that it's got the classic GNU trend of "here's an obviously pronounceable spelling; let's say it a different way".
The only thing missing is a recursive acronym e.g. Pies: Pies Is Experimental Software or something equally cringe like Hurd
Pies is eshewing systemd?
how about "Active Development" without any progress in 3 decades
I've never heard of this program but I heard the voice in my head pronounce it is p-yes immediately. Apparently I've internalised GNU English to totally native level.
It's how you would pronounce it if it were Latin. In which case it would mean "feet". Maybe that's not what inspired the name.
Also in Polish, which would mean "dog".
I think the Latin for feet would be "pedes", singular "pes".
Romanes eunt domum.
