If this is the problem we are trying to solve then I don't think simply renaming the menu item to "Axis2 Services" is enough. As we know this page lists data services and proxy services too. And there is a "type" field in the page which can take one of many values. And one of those values is again called "Axis2"! If I'm on the "Axis2 services" page then naturally I'd expect to see only the services of type "Axis2". Therefore the type field is redundant and displaying proxy services and data services on the same page is not intuitive from UI design perspective. Also this complicates Carbon Studio tooling. In CS, "Axis2 Service" is a top level artifact type. Similarly "Proxy Service" and "Data Service" are also top level artifact types. But once deployed all these different types of artifacts will be listed on the same "Axis2 Services" page. This is going to confuse users who are new to our platform and jargon. I don't have any alternative ideas yet, but I don't think this new naming convention in the UI is very good.
