Nicolas,

It seems like your thread is thus:

- somebody used the acronym EDI instead of D&I, possibly because this is a
common element of jargon
- it turns out that E commonly stands for Equity
- you asked about Equity in the context of Apache
- you got a partial answer from someone who claimed not to be an expert
- you conclude that "the desired outcome is not understood" (phrased as a
conditional that I take as a rhetorical device)

This seems to be a very strong conclusion to be drawn from such a very thin
broth of fact.

To me, other conclusions that might be drawn:

- the use of EDI was simply an echo of usage in other communities and has
very little reference

OR

- the use of EDI was unintentional and, in fact, erroneous

OR

- the usage was intentional, but there is a well understood meaning in this
group (by people other then Ken and me)


With so many possible interpretations, it seems premature to draw any
conclusions about this, especially if we are guided by assuming good
intentions as we should.
