To be fair to Andrew Kluthe, who wrote

"I wonder if it will possible to integrate her somehow into rev? Oh the 
possibilities."

We should take into account that English is not his native language, and 
quite possibly
in his language an SDK takes the feminine gender.

The joke about Herschel's planet is, also, beyond most people for whom 
English is not
a native language owing to 2 reasons:

1. The Uranus pun.

2. Most non-English speakers find the English-speaking world's obsession 
with "Botty humour"
     both hard to understand and distinctly unfunny.

As I am in a relationship with RunRev 4.0 right now I find myself often 
referring
to 'it' as 'she' . . .  :)  And, quite frankly, although RunRev does 
have the odd 'moist corner',
I would find it hard to find the part you refer to.
