It was decided on the 3/23/09 COSMOS architecture call to rename the Reconciliation Taxonomy (RTx) to Federation and Reconciliation Catalog (FRC). http://wiki.eclipse.org/Cosmos_Architecture_Meeting_24-March-09 It was apparent that the Reconciliation Taxonomy name has led to confusion. Early adopters expected something other than what was intended. Taxonomy implies a detailed classification system. Marv Waschke from CA suggested that Federation and Reconciliation Catalog (FRC) would be a more accurate name. All documentation in CVS and on the wiki will need to be updated. Here's the wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_Reconciliation_Taxonomy Once the content is changed, David can perform a page rename. As part of this activity, a blog entry will be made to announce the change. To keep activity related to FRC granular and iterative, a separate bug will be created for editorial changes desired by CA.
Mark, do you suggest we mark this as WONTFIX or LATER? It sounds like you aren't planning to make this name change anytime soon, if at all.

Based on further feedback, the rename may not be such a good idea after all. I'd like guidance on whether WONTFIX or LATER would be more appropriate, and whether the Target Milestone should be changed from 1.1_i6 to future.

WONTFIX means the problem described is a bug which will never be fixed. LATER means it will be fixed in a future release. LATER is considered obsolete however, so we would instead leave it open in that case and use a target milestone of "future". If you feel confident this is something we don't plan to change, then we can choose WONTFIX. The defect can be reopened if we absolutely need to - this is a reversible procedure. :-)
