I don't think it's the filename change that's a problem for Frank, I 
think it's mostly the mapfile change (ORACLESPATIAL -> SDO) and its 
impact on the users. I would have to agree that we should avoid changing 
the mapfile identifiers unless there is a good reason to do so, and in 
this case I am not convinced that SDO is more commonly used than Oracle 
Spatial in day to day talk (for the little interaction I have with 
Oracle users). I admit that I always found ORACLESPATIAL was a bit long 
as an identifier, but it may be too late to change it.

So I'd be -0 on the ORACLESPATIAL identifier change.
