Don't do this. It is bad enough that every major devops/infra component needs to create some <letter><number_of_missing_letters><letter> tag, but dropping it in to random places is worse than the regular backronyms and cute project names science and tech people use to try to hide complexity. It just adds confusion for no rhyme or reason other than trying to sound like you are a part of some club of insiders.

> Don't do this.

Do not do that.

Btw ESCHELON and Five Eyes coordination existed for so long and people only woke up when Snowden revealed prism


the name is echelon
