I am against this, we should change this before Lucene 4.0. We have seen
already on user list that many people understand it wrong, so for me this issue
is a "Blocker" for 4.0.

I disagree with this. I've watched NOT_ANALYZED pop up on the user list for
older releases time after time, its frustrating, but this problem is nothing
new.
Its not introduced with 4.0: I opened this issue because I thought was useful
feedback from someone testing the Lucene 4.0 BETA and its really trivial to fix,
once we settle on a name.
I don't think we should try to block releases when nobody can even agree on a
good name yet.
We should instead focus on picking a good name: we can implement this for 4.1
or 5.0 or whatever.

> There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField
> screws up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer.
> (see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an
> example.)
> The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results.
> I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField.
