I don't have a vote, but I'll vote +1 for this anyway.


Sidney, I *think* that the changes can be rolled back in trunk, including the
rules. However, there are probably a few people running trunk that are not
developers/committers that may have used some of the new terminology. These
would break with the rollback. 

However, I think trunk should be treated as somewhat unstable, so we could just
announce what is going to happen (and the implications on own rules) a week or
two before the actual drop, and let it go at that.

If there was worry over some probably small percentage of the probably few
people running trunk suddenly getting lint errors, some work could be done to
put some aliasing into trunk, aliasing the new names to the old names. I (again
having no vote) would vote against this; it is extra work and likely to
destabilize things.

As a completely separate longer-term discussion, perhaps rules should be in
their own tree and not part of trunk.
