Being the Tramp maintainer, I'm opposed to this. I do not want to let
whomever dictate what we do, being the POTUS or not.

And as John said, there are many external uses of the tramp-* namespace.

As a practical matter, I ignore every message silently, which uses the
"joke" to name Tramp Trump.

“Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol”.

Best regards, Michael.
