In my opinion, referring to a standard document by the last name of its author
is not snooty or superior. It would be annoying to have to list the full title

An entry should be added to a faq for this question. That way, people new to
CVS could instantly find out what "Cederqvist" means. And, the old timers
you speak of would no longer have a basis for their superiority.
