To me this doesn't seem like enough of a reason to change the field
name.
Did you run into some big confusion between the terms "tracking code"
and "tracking number"? In a way I don't like tracking number because
most tracking "numbers" aren't really numbers, they include alpha
letters and sometimes punctuation too.
I must admit though that I've never run into anything like this sort
of confusion or any sort of related conflict in terms. Is there
something online somewhere that my be helpful for me, and others
similarly uniformed (if there are any)?

ShipmentPackageRouteSeg has a field called trackingCode which should
really be trackingNumber (see: OrderItemShipGroup field

"trackingCode" is used in the marketing entities and code to
describe something completely different.
I created a patch for this, and it touches quite a few files - are
there any objections to this change?
