Hi all,
While writing up the descriptions for persistent vs transient
objects (domains, virtual networks, etc), I'm personally finding
the word "temporary" seems a better fit than "transient".
Is there anything particularly wrong with using "temporary" in
this context instead?
Thinking that if "temporary" is ok, I'll do a search-n-replace,
changing "transient" to "temporary" across docs (and any code).
Bad idea?
I prefer the existing terminology of transient+persistent & don't
think changing it has any real benefit and the downside that since
you can't change all existing content/files out in the wild, we'll
get a mix of temporary vs transient forever more.
