I would like to object on the strongest terms possible the "Modified part

This is not necessarily a train part.

Is this file not my intellectual property? Shouldn't I have some control of
its contents?

Hey - my first PTadmin hornet's nest !!
Here's my rationalisation for changing the name, FWIW.
The only comment on the part name in the review history is from Steve Bliss.
No-one challenged Steve's suggestion that it should be linked by name to
2917.dat, so I assumed (quite wrongly, it appears) that putting this in the
train category was OK with everyone. Maybe if you had expressed that "strongest
terms" opinion on the PT I would have been aware of your strength of feeling.
I have now withdrawn the admin certify vote until we can reach a concensus.
IMHO, I don't think it is practical to have a discussion on every part name
change, without severely holding up the throughput, but others are welcome to
differ.

Probably true. Some discussion on the train related parts to establish
general standards may help though, and it may make sense to do so in the
context of specific parts.

With respect to this one, does it at all make sense to change the name of
2917 to make it less train connected instead of changing 2916 to make it more?
