Description Eric Seidel 2010-07-22 23:02:09 UTC
write-neutralized is a horrible, horrible name

I can't spell it.  I can't type it.  Our poor innocent non-native english speaker contributors don't know what it means.

Other, better names:
write-disabled
write-ignored
ignore-writes
disable-write
Comment 1 Eric Seidel 2010-07-22 23:03:35 UTC
Even worse that "neutralized" is spelled different in American vs. British english.

Please change the name. :)
