From 7d35eb1a184a3f0759ad9e9cde4669b5c55b2063 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vernet Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 10:59:48 -0500 Subject: bpf, docs: s/eBPF/BPF in standards documents There isn't really anything other than just "BPF" at this point, so referring to it as "eBPF" in our standards document just causes unnecessary confusion. Let's just be consistent and use "BPF".
