   I'm ~pretty sure~ that the "word on the street" was that the 
community wanted to get away from the SPEED_XXX symbols since they 
simply represented the values XXX.  Thus they didn't offer any real 
symbolic isolation from weird constants, etc.  I believe that the old 
SPEED_XXX values were left in place in order to avoid making tons of 
changes everywhere ...
