What is the new naming hierarchy?  Do we plan to rename all existing
relevant classes to better distinguish whether they are talking about e.g.
instances vs. fragments?  Might be nice to do that first to make the
convention clear and make it easier to follow exactly what state lives
where and how it's being moved around.
