Friday has landed, yesssss!!
It turns out that words such as "Feature" and "Enhancements" have been
shot down in the past. To the Vogons on the Review Committee these terms
sound too much like "bells-n-whistles" which they want to avoid like wet
towels. They are more concerned with changes that satisfy the latest
official standards and guidelines. User-friendliness upgrades get sent
to the back of the cue (cube?) so I need a title that doubles as a
cloaking device.
The terms "Proposed Upgrades"; "Proposed Improvements" and "Proposed
Development Items" have made the short list. Bonus kudos to Al, Monique
and Lauren "The Human Thesaurus".
Thanks again to everyone for your help and happy Friday!!!!
-Darren

I like this theory. I also think that a term this long should be an
acronym if it is used. Something, like, "Customer Requested
Enhancements and Developments," CRED. But probably not "Customer
Requested Updates and Developments," CRUD.
