We need a TLA authority to help prevent collisions in the acronym space. It’s enough that MCP is also the Burroughs/Unisys mainframe operating system, now TSO is also the time-sharing option on IBM mainframes.

TSO? Did you mean tso.architecture.cpu?

Either that or https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-basic-skills?topic=interface...

I would prefer we didn’t have so many collisions in the TLA space.

The last company I worked at created TLAs for everything, or at least engineering always did. New company doesn't seem to have caught that bug yet though, thankfully.
