I caught wind of the suggestion to rename Mount Diablo (in Contra Costa County,
California) via a posting on a SF Bay Area oriented amateur astronomy list...

I think renaming a mountain as locally prominent as Mt Diablo is a horrible
idea. With so many local organizations from Boy Scout Councils to Amateur
Astronomy Clubs to State Parks identified with Diablo this would have
repercussions for years....

Please, I hope this was an April Fools joke.
