And now techincal people with have to deal with 2 different terms for the same concept. They really didn't think things through. What happens to all the old documentation? who will change it? Karl Marx's ghost? What happens to hard books, do we burn them? It's like communists never learned that words can have context or do they really think master hard drives opress slave hard drives?
