Possible Revolutionary Change Request #5 or is it a Revolutionary Suggestion?

Rejoice Comrades!

Though it is still in the preliminary revolutionary deliberation phase to determine its official status, I felt that you should be kept abreast of this latest development so that you can continue on with your Revolutionary work. While this is still in the information gathering stage and has not been approved into a change in the revolutionary baseline, I thought that since the impact 'could' I repeat 'could' be quite significant (though we won't know until the full impact assessment portion of the request comes through, if indeed it does happen to be filed.

Ah, yes, Comrades, you are asking what could this absolutely portentous and monumental change be that would warrant such an early communication out to us all? I shall tell you.

The suggestion, which is the only place that it stands for now until the proper revolutionary change request documentation is filled out and filed with the appropriate authorities came from Comrade Anonymous asking for the Revolution to consider a change in the Official Revolutionary Nomenclature from 'The Feds' to either 'The Man' or 'The System'.

I tend to object to 'The Man' on the grounds that it is exclusionary and denigrates 'The Woman' or puts some type of sexist spin on the objectives of the Revolution, so I can't decide between using 'The System' or 'The Feds' or some other term that would adequately capture what the Revolution's objectives are.

Luckily, I am a Project Manager, and don't make decisions of this sort, or of any other kind except to manage the Revolution to the baseline configuration of the revolution, which includes the terminology...

Yes, Comrades, I suppose I shall have to wait for the Revolutionary Change Request to be filed and for it to be approved by the Revolutionary Change Board (and in this case most likely the Leadership of the Revolution given its scope), and I shall manage to that.

Rejoice In the Power of Process my Comrades!

    I hear what you are saying. What is wrong with 'The Pigs'? I can tell you that nothing is. Merely that if one is having a revolution, one is sure to encounter monitoring by agencies government, NGO, Private or any others, and that these will be what we must engage with since they are stakeholders....

    Thankfully, by acknowledging that these parties exist, whatever we call them, then surely we will be able to engage in a very satisfactory revolutionary stakeholder management plan.
