Sticking your head in the and and ignoring the criticism about the *name* and not the achievement is nothing to be proud of. What the project team achieved is irrelevant to the discussion. Mentioning how great it is and how much work it was is also irrelevant. I'm not going to play "international politics"[1] with this. There is only one issue and that is the name. Drumming up the Indiana release' fanboys is getting us nowhere. Casper [1] Making the support of resolutions condemning what X did to Y conditional on saying that "Y" isn't altogether nice also.
