Kevin,
If my words or position had any chance of modifying course, I would
certainly do so again. But as you say further down, the "hullabaloo" of
people trying to present other points of view, is pointless.
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.
I meant actual research, where they reach out to affected populations,
poll them and actually go through data to reach a conclusion. I am
biased here with being an engineer and all, but that is the kind of
evidence I would like to see.
Quoting editorial pieces will lead us nowhere.
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.
Understood. I will shut up now. Thanks for your time.
