As I said earlier, this whole debate stems from the fact that we choose to use a stationary atmosphere as the frame of reference. That's fine as long as we remember that this is just a modelling choice.
I would say that most people here have chosen to use the atmosphere as the frame of reference, without assuming whether is is stationary or not.
