Hmm...is a change of keywords even something we should put on the table?

The good: It preserves the flow and intent of the 2001 configurations 
while providing a better keyword environment for legacy ()pre-2001) designs.

The bad: All vendors and all users of configurations have to make a change.

Is it worth a quick straw poll to guage the receptiveness to this kind 
of thing? I'd especially appreciate hearing from users of configurations.

In the interest of getting over what's become a massive hump and 
achieving consensus, I'd be willing to vote in the affirmative for a 
keyword change. I'm a little worried about the keyword, "configuration", 
since I know we have had customers run into this conflict and they must 
have changed it to something (and "configuration" is a likely 
candidate!). Other than that, I don't have strong opinions about which 
keyword.
