CockroachDB does many thing really well but please for the love social acceptance please change the name.
In this time of PC outrage I honestly don't understand how it doesn't attract more attention.
Possibly because the shortened slur ("mongo") isn't prevalent in English speaking countries (while PC outrage seems to be a predominantly English effect). It is in other places and in these places it gives the MongoDB project name an extremely negative connotation.
TBH that's actually one of the reasons (besides the poor track record) that I never used it, avoided it and argued for software not requiring it / against using software requiring it.
