[Bruce Dechant]

Thanks for the feedback Frank.

I also posted the RFC to the dev list, but used a separate email is all.

Bruce,

As an infrequent user of mapguide I'd like to discourage unnecessary
backward
incompatible changes.  Perhaps /testmode, -testmode, /test and -test
could
all work?  That is, continue to support the old names, but document the
new shorter versions.

I'm speaking as a long enemy of "churn" who greatly values the few
little
bits of knowledge he has collected about mapguide.

PS. Is the plan that mapguide RFCs only be distributed on the psc list?
It
seems this is likely to exclude most users and many developers from
knowing
an RFC is cooking that might affect them.  I'm also not a big fan of
seperate
psc lists.

Best regards,
