Luis, the article I quoted was well research and included expert citations. I'd be interested if you can find me one that says it isn't racially-charged with expert citations, please. Especially one that has citations almost 50 years old that mention the problem.

The PMC voted to make the changes and make the changes 100% backwards compatible for no less than a year. They also won't be considered for removal until SA 4.1 is released. Therefore, to me the hullabaloo is fairly pointless. People stuck in the past who insist on not changing have that choice. The ONLY technical battle worth discussing is way down the road and that's whether enough movement has been made by 4.1 that delaying the removal of backwards compatibility. Regards, KAM -- Kevin A.
