Ele Mooney commented on MESOS-1478:
-----------------------------------
Alas, the naming scheme is the part that scares me! It's inclined to roundabout
discussion, and I'm not sure a Democratic approach is best. Does this community
often vote on issues? But I will make up a list and post it to dev/user list in
a timeboxed manner for amendment. From there I'll make a form as you suggest,
likewise timeboxed to keep it quick and clean. I think the names are less
important than people think; there isn't a standard coming away from this
nomenclature and it's something a matter of taste so there's likely to get a
'most votes' though not a majority. I think it doesn't really matter as long as
it's not offensive and is descriptive.
[~dhamon]I'm nervous about making the change too. It was a very personal
decision after writing code for Sensu checks on Mesos slaves the week before
MLK. We've made the decision in our company not to use this terminology but I
didn't necessarily feel it was an important issue. Then I considered how I
would feel if I had to write checks for Mesos 'bitches' if they were called
that. As a woman that would make my workplace pretty hard to take. We had a
laugh over it in the DevOps team, but it is hard to ignore at this point for
me. A senior engineer at the company suggested the change could only come about
with work, so I decided to step up.
I am wondering of course about the scope of the work even though I can look at
the code: I don't know what the critical connections are and if we want to roll
this out over one or two releases, we'll need good test coverage. I have a
friend who might help me on the ticket, but does anyone want to make a guess at
estimating the tasks? (not the time, I'll be slow there for sure, as DevOps I
mostly write Python and Ruby or shell scripts).
