Allow me to exaggerate.  Had we been using the following names, there 
would obviously be a point in changing them:

Is "collection" more descriptive than "feed" of what we're using it 
for?  Would it make for quicker absorbtion of the concept by people not 
already familiar with the term "feed"?  Would it confuse those already 
familiar with the term "feed"?

My only objection to "collection" is that it has two more syllables 
than "feed".
