I don't want to push my preferences here, but I wanted to suggest that something that sounds a bit on now will sound normal over time. I will point out, though, that spell check doesn't complain about 'Binary' and 'Promotion'. If I can throw another suggestion in (without offering preference for it myself), 'dual-state clones'? The reasoning is that, though three words instead of two, spell-check likes it, it sounds OK on day one (from a language perspective) and it reflects that the clone has only one of two states. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: [email protected] http://lists.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
