Hi all, I agree. XAUI was cute. CAUI and XLAUI were silly. XXVAUI is ridiculous. Maybe we can get maintenance to go back and fix the others since we don’t have that many Romans working on the project anymore. Regards, Steve From: Eric Baden [mailto:ericb@xxxxxxxxxxxx]
I agree we should break the convention. Roman numerals get very messy, and really long. 25G, or 1.6T will be much easier to manage. Eric From: Brad Booth [mailto:bbooth@xxxxxxxx]
I agree with Mike; let's break convention. There is no requirement to use Roman numerals. Seriously, when I chose the acronym X-A-U-I and Shimon Muller coined it as zowie, we never had the idea that we'd end up propagating so many Roman
numeral variants. What I believe we need to be wary of is how the interface is written and pronounced. The primary reason is to create a simple mapping of the text to the pronunciation for those where English (or American) is not their primary language and
for those that are not actively involved in this effort. Thanks, On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 10:39 AM, Mike Dudek <mike.dudek@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: And I’d been hoping that we would break the convention and

I shudder at the amount of meeting time we are likely to spend on this topic next week… Kent has a presentation for next week and has been gathering input over the last few months so we can
hopefully make a decision after that. With regards to your proposal below, I can see the syllable-efficiency of what you are proposing but
worried it has little meaning. I’d actually been assuming we’d be writing documentation with XXVAUI format for consistency but people would verbally use the “25-G-AUI” pronunciation for clarity of meaning. Mark On 1/7/15, 1:23 PM, "Dan Dove" <dan.dove@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
