The wrong side of history? Are you kidding me? I have been a long time user of Apache products. SA has been my go to solution for decades. Until this morning, I was without opinion on this issue and I even understood, and agreed, that the change had merit for clarity. But, 'go along or be on the wrong side of history' (sic) tells me this is not about a more clear and understandable naming convention. This is posturing and pandering.
I am disappointed greatly. Very disappointed. DAve ----- On Jul 14, 2020, at 5:03 AM, Kevin A.
