Yeah I get that, but wouldn’t that still technically be ‘back-to-front’? Like ‘I want a DataCentre switch with back to front airflow’ then you buy this and the air flows from back to front, but the device reports it as front to back? Surely using industry terminology like ‘back-to-front’ and ‘front-to-back’ and then changing what that means whimsically depending on to which product it applies is stupid?
