The use of "max" in the name is important as there are several
timer expirations and one gives here the maximum number of such
expirations. It could also be "max\-expir" or "max\-#expir"[*].
What do you think?

How about max-num-expir?

OK.

I've attached a new version of my patch.

Thanks!  I've applied the patch.

One could do that (this was more or less my initial idea,
and I'm wondering why the committee chose p).

The committee has chosen many bad names.  Let's not follow them.
Indeed, now that I'm member of the committee, I'm trying to fix that
among other things.

Great. FYI, here's what I sent to the CFP list yesterday, as there
are also remaining "exp" in the standard:

Do you want me to write a proposal?  Or will the CFP write one?

There hasn't been any reaction to my mail in the CFP list.
So perhaps you could write a proposal.

They didn't reply to my paper either.  I'll have to ask for an N number.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
