Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change the naming of Programming Right

I think I can say without justification that changing a term which is in the XWiki developer's lexicon is going to inflict pain, however I don't see the real pain in keeping it. Certainly other names could be better and I might have chosen "root" to keep with unix standards of "Global Administrator Right" to explain that it's global to a farm. But I don't think the self-explanitory nature of these names over "programming right" is adaquate reason to change. Standard gage railroad track is 4 feet 8 and a half inches wide, certainly not the *best* width and indeed somewhat of an insane number, but the people who built the first trains were wagon makers and that was the width of the wagon axles because if they were not that width, they would break when running in the rutted stone roads left by the Romans, indeed that width dates all the way back to the width of a Roman war chariot... or so the story goes. The point is that as much as existing standards might suck, "programming rights" is carved into every XWiki developer's mind just as "4 feet 8 and a half inches" is written in the ties, tunnels, switches and bridges all over the world and to propose a change to that you need a *really* good reason.
