Troll or serious?

Nope, this can't possibly be serious. Consider that all the security
"stewards" get callsigns that begin with the same letter (C aka
Charlie), followed by a number. I'm quite sure that you can cope with
the situation of having names with similarities.

If your communication protocol can't distinguish between Pa and Pi, or
between NOC and POC, or between No as a name and No as a negative reply,
change the protocol, not the identifiers.

Please keep "pi" and "tau". I really like these names for the workshop
tents 1 and 2. Tau being 2 * pi makes it funny, and that would be lost
if pi was renamed to e. If you have to have "e" and "tau", then at least
get another tent "i", so that we can have Euler's identity (e * i * tau
= 1). I'll take for granted that perhaps the security team doesn't know
if India is i, infodesk, or India itself.
