    As I understand it, it is not a change of the names just for the fun of
    it and it's not a waste of time. The classes were changed a lot (now all
    deriving from BrGlbTrack), they now all seem to work as they should and
    they have consistent names. And even if it (for some of us) take some time
    to get use to the new names I think we should appriciate the big effort
    that has been put into this, instead of worrying about "FS" or "fs" - I
    know that this is not a discussion, but I don't get the point in your
    comments.
