[threeten-dev] Opinion poll on Zone[d]DateTime

[Stephen Colebourne]

And I can safely conclude the answer of the poll.

"Q1 What should the final class be called?"
1) ZonedDateTime 42%
2) ZoneDateTime 49%
3) Other 9%
ZonalDateTime, SymbolicZoneDateTime, DateTimeWithZone,
TimezoneDateTime, DateTimeTZ, DateTimeInTimeZone, DateTimeZone

"Q4 Given this fact (alpha/preview), which name would you choose?"
1) ZonedDateTime 54%
2) ZoneDateTime 45%

Q2/3 even spread of answers.

Thus, pretty much 50/50. Given where we are, I could argue for either
name and ultimately, in a few months time no-one would care.

Ultimately, it seems that this name change is not significant enough
to win a greater than 2:1 majority that I wanted. So, we should change
back to ZonedDateTime.

Roger, you volunteered to make this rename?

thanks
Stephen
