please don’t.

there is two reasons that I am against tampering with this:

1) when using Export As... (new label), there are 3 things that
can be changed:

the location (say, directory), the name, the file type (extension)

2 out of 3 times, the name does not need changing.

2) the same ‘danger’ exists for Save As... but I think
we all manage quite well with that one.

no that is not what we are doing with this. it does not mean
that the non-savers are target users now.

what we are doing is a renewed effort to take all the
friction out of the non-saving paths for as much as we
can (without throwing away the clear separation principle),
for the benefit of all users.
