Comment (by elb):

 The question really does not remain.  This has been discussed before, and
 removing it due to the narrow-mindedness of a few non-native English
 speakers would be truly unfortunate.  I would expect a non-negligible
 percentage of native English speakers to recognize the title (being as Led
 Zeppelin remains a quite popular rock band even today), and for those
 people it is somewhat humorous.  For people who do not get it, but speak
 English, it does not in any way impact their ability to understand the
 string.

 For people who do not speak English, or are not reading the plugin name in
 English, it should not make any difference, because the translation will
 not carry over the pun.

 The fact that the pun does not translate does not ''reduce'' its value in
 English, and nor does its loss reduce the value of a literal translation
 in another language.  The way I see it, keeping it is a win-win situation.
