I agree. Would it be feasible to generic-ize as much as possible (even across the entire PPML?) and then have a single section that defines the current best practice examples of the generic terms?
e.g. replace "WHOIS and SWIP" with "Directory Services" but then elsewhere note that WHOIS and SWIP are current examples of "Directory Services" so there is still some reference for those that are used to those terms. When a new specific protocol or technology comes about, just that one section could be updated to "WHOIS, SWIP, and SuperNewThing" , -Randy ----- On Jan 18, 2024, at 1:49 PM, Andrew Dul <andrew....@quark.net> wrote: > If we are "modernizing" the language of this section that should include > removing old and outdated terminology.
