Nb., recent reviewers, I've left the names of AFSCB_Cancel_LostMyMind
and AFSCB_Cancel_IHateYou as previously defined, by request of the
author.


I suggest that we change those two names as follows:

AFSCB_Cancel_LostMyMind to AFSCB_Cancel_OutOfCallbacks
AFSCB_Cancel_IHateYou to AFSCB_Cancel_RevokedByAdmin

I disagree. The names accurately and adequately display intent and are
never visible to users anyway, only
to implementors.

I don't think so. "lost my mind" does not adequately convey "I'm out of stoage for callbacks, so I'm revoking some".

I have to agree with Steve here; these names may never be seen by end users, but they will be seen by developers and by admins trying to troubleshoot problems. I'd rather see names that are boring but actually descriptive than have cutsey names and be scratching my head 10 years from now thinking "WTF does the server mean it lost its mind?".
