When I updated ChangeLog for trac #200 (https://bind10.isc.org/ticket/200)
it occurred to me that "func" may not be a good category for this
change because it doesn't (and shouldn't) add any new feature.
In BIND 9 we would have called it "cleanup" (or sometimes even "bug",
which is overly abused). While I generally refrain from adding a new
category without a strong reason, I guess this is probably something
we want to add.
And, if so, I wonder if "refactor" (or "refactoring") might be better
than "cleanup" because refactoring is a pretty well known term in
software development, and it would indicate the behavior doesn't
change more clearly than general terms like "cleanup".
Opinions? My specific questions are
- should we add a new category for refactoring changes?
- if so, what should we call them? cleanup or refactor(ing), or
something else?
