Change the designation just because some admins don't know how to RTFM? I don't think so... They fu*ked up. Plain and simple. -CURRENT makes sense, and more importantly is documented for those who take the time to look.

This is beginning to sound like a human-computer interface issue. If you read comp.risks, you'll see that issues such as this arise time and time again. It's almost similar to POLA. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... Give meaningful and widely used names to things which people are familiar with.

I'm not as hot about the BETA designation, but generally feel it should be left alone simply because it's documented, and thus should NOT be a problem.

By this designation, we could call a brake a clutch and get away with it because it's all documented. The problem is not with the documentation. It's with the name.
