Thanks, Joe for the summary of the impact later.

-1. IMO - a naming change is no worth the effort and future breakage.

Subject: Re: [Android][Discuss] Change name of CordovaWebView to 
CordovaWebInterface

Yes, I do.  I had to search through mobilespec, but here it is:

private static final boolean HAS_BUILT_IN_SPLASH_SCREEN =
Integer.valueOf(CordovaWebView.CORDOVA_VERSION.split("\\.")[0]) < 4;

Also, every plugin that calls initialize requires a CordovaWebView passed into 
it.  That's a pretty big change.  I also haven't touched on Third Party 
WebViews like Crosswalk, which would have to do the change.
