I don't think I realized this PR was still pending until now, not sure how that happened. Then I see above: "please add the email address used for this commit to your account." That could be a problem @dopplershift, any way you could help me out here? |

Sorry for the delay. We can certainly take care of the CLA issue here. I think the reason this lingered is because I'm not particularly thrilled with this change. While I understand the conformance to the naming from the rest of distribution of the GOES-R series of products, I also find that naming scheme to be outright user-hostile. So little of the data we deal with in meteorology use the julian day, so moving away from YYYYMMDD seems like a step backwards from a usability standpoint, not to mention the fact that the standard naming has 3 separate times that are not immediately clear or intuitive what the difference is. I think if this naming became an option, rather than the default, I'd be more in favor. That said, I'm certainly open to hear what the benefits are for conforming to the standard. |

I do not disagree with your stance, I think I was mostly in favor of adhering to conventions at the time, but you're not wrong about the "choices" made in that standard. I'll ruminate on what the best actions here might be and will come back with more later. Thanks! |

One thought I have right away is to add a cli arg to opt in for the standard naming convention, all the code already exists between branches so that might not be a very complex undertaking. 🤔 |
