Sure, naming is important, but the RSS icon was well known. It was part of the Firefox address bar.

The number of people who will recognize that will only go down over time. I'm not exactly ancient (at least outside tech) at 32 but have no recollection of ever seeing that icon or confidence that I'd recognize it, which I'd argue puts a rough lower bound on how old someone can be while considering it "well-known". Maybe if people only a few years older than me consistently recognize it then my instinct here is wrong, but I'm skeptical that there are enough people who consider this well-known for the supposed renaissance to take place purely from that.

(It's possible I'm entirely missing that this was intended in sarcasm, but it at least seems like it's was intended seriously to me)


If you ask regular people around yourself I'm sure none would recognize the acronym.
