The other stylistic issue is the original design of Xenia is very 90s.
A last thing that came to mind was a potential conflict with Xenix, the Unix platform Microsoft licensed from AT&T.
The issue today is Xenia's appeal may be mostly limited to the queer furry community, which specifically represents a small number of people in free software.

Also, Linus just has a soft spot for penguins. He jocularly stated that he got "penguinitis" after being bitten in Australia.
Xenia certainly isn't forgotten in the furry community.
