Why "Deputy"?

This project was previously called "Tooling Language Server", but I felt it was a bit too generic and verbose.

Deputy is mostly just a fun wordplay on "Dependency" and "Utility", but you can also interpret it using the literal meaning of the word.
Deputy helps you (the sheriff of dependencies) stay informed, and keep your versions up to date. 🤠
