Why SSL was renamed to TLS in late 90s (2014)
Wouldn't it be appropriate now to call the next version SSL again? It's still widely used by everyone, so let them keep using it.

There's really not much chance of that, given that the protocol is maintained by the IETF TLS Working Group.

“TLS” is also used in a bunch of places already, too. Updating config file formats and function signatures will be a PITA.

I would like to see it called SSL again, but agree the cure would be worse than the disease.
