Yes I am happy with them.

In the Specctra DSN spec we have 'front' and 'back'.

The Front and Back is something I am quite fond of, and argued for it 
about 8 weeks ago.

We have a layer name editing tool, for those that don't like the 
defaults. Maybe you can ask your question WRT to a German specific 
translation.

But all the #defines in the source code and what not have been recently 
been changed to reflect FRONT and BACK, and this is a good thing IMO.

So yes, you are too late.
