Coding Standards

Gang,

May I object to


package org.apache.avalon.repository.util;
    public class LOADER


I have been around in Java land for an awful long time and this is the first 
time I come across a uppercase only name, which is not an abbreviation.

Why is not called "Loader" instead?

Because there is zero functional difference and doing the change would 
mean another binary snapshot (which is not a zero effort exercise).  
However - seems like a number of people would like this item closed 
before the release.

Because it all static utility methods - but if you really want to object 
- then can I ask you to do me a favour and object next month.  I've just 
cut the release and I'm read to launch a vote.
