Apple MacBook Pro Anti-Reflective Display Coating Repair Program ('Staingate')
From macrumors (https://www.macrumors.c
NOTE: this repair program continues to be handled internally rather than being publicly announced; google 'staingate'
For those unaware, Apple has a non-public quality program for free repairs of anti-reflective coating issues for select MacBook and MacBook Pro models. This was to have ended October 2017, but was extended on November 2017 (no 'end' date set).
Apple first began this repair program in October 2015, and already extended it once, after some MacBook and MacBook Pro users experienced issues with the anti-reflective coating wearing off or delaminating on Retina displays.
The damage appears to be caused by a variety of factors, including the pressure of the keyboard and trackpad on the display when closed, and the use of incorrect third-party cleaning solutions with microfiber cloths.

lol I think it's safe to assume that people are aware what is meant by using e-[x]... Apple may have distanced itself (mostly) from the i-[x] naming standard but "e-" is still going
"Stupid Watergate" is not a bad runner-up and still gives me a little chuckle.
