I would like to rename the FTP Masters team—ideally via a General

Ideally? Its the worst possible way to go about.
I'm at a loss to actually find polite words to describe how off it
is,
That might be slightly harsh, Felix only became a DD last year, it
takes
some time to learn not to go for the biggest and bluntest hammer
first.
Only slightly, and nah, I am pretty sure that was a 100% calculated move
to go directly to this.
Also, changing the name is Step 1 only and if we leave it at that,
quite
pointless. Getting it all changed will take quite a while longer
(start
with hostnames for example).
*nod*, although I don't see harm in starting with just a team name
change. It doesn't have to mandate immediate changes everywhere else.
The next step would probably be to file bugs for everywhere the name
occurs with some tag and then track that, but I wouldn't want to force
a
surge of work because of this change. Starting with the delegation and
then taking it one step at a time from there seems ok.
Yeah. The current name is wrong for ages already, ftp is hardly in use
for a long time, so thats a good reason to adjust it. If it happens to
lose the "master" part in that, oh fine. And yeah, it will take *ages*
and lots of small steps before it will be all through.
