Re: [irs-discuss] What's in a name?

The similarity between
Routing Information Protocol
and
Rest In Peace
never confused anyone.
Did it?

PRI - Programmatic Routing Interface

Though this clashes with PRI of ISDN fame that has long been buried. IRS, besides the obvious clash can mess up the search results. Also, I don't see a good reason to include 'System' in the acronym.

Personally, I find discussions of what name/acronym to use a bit sad. I've had
enough code review hours wasted debating the names of variables to not want to
spend any more time on this sort of thing.

However, I note that there was some unease about the use of IRS. If we really
need to find a new name for this work (and I note that RSI is also used for
something else) we need to find a solution soon.

Can I suggest that only those people who have a strong objection to IRS need to
contribute to the discussion. Furthermore, we don't need suggestions to be
floated, we need solid and definite proposals. That way we will possibly reach a
serious conclusion quickly.

Thanks,
Adrian
