Stephen,

Let's take it easy. I understand your frustration, but I think it's somewhat not justified. No official statement has been issued (that I've seen) by the release manager (Don) or the other gatekeepers about a complete renaming of the API.

I don't think that is what Yon is after either. He knows very well that we can't just make drastic changes. Rather, an incremental change is being made, and a compatibility API is left with a note that developers should be aware of the new one.

I'd recognize that we need to pay better attention to upgrade scripts and path. That's point well taken and I'm sure others have gotten that from this and other threads.
