It is also part of the name of a sports car - Gran Turismo Omologato (aka GTO), meaning homologated grand tourer, a luxury car that has been homologated (certified or approved) for racing.
And sometimes Darren has to be involved in homologating posts on this list server.

I am also suspicious of Jan Vanbrabant's esclusion of homologation from this discussion. The word is derived from the ancient Greek verb homologein, to approve, which becomes homologare, to agree, in fairly late Latin. (It has a special meaning in Scots law, where it is used to characterize a process of removing minor defects from contracts, the remediated versions of which are then given the force of law.)* *> Re. As for Jan Vanbrabant's stage names, HOMOLOGATION easily translates to "(Internal or Product) Quality Assurance" and ACCEPTANCE to "Client Test". My organization uses both, though not in disparate technical or physical environments, and always without recompilation.* This is exactly what it means, Peter !
