Yep, although the reason why - that no end-user will know what these terms mean - has never been entirely convincing to me. But even if we don't use the word 'overcloud', I think we should use *something*. Deployment is just so vague that without some context, it could refer to anything.
As a side note, the original terminology thread ended with a general upstream consensus that we should "call things what they are in OpenStack". That's why the 'deployment' model is actually called 'overcloud' in the UI/api; others strongly favored using that term to make it clear to developers what we were modeling. Part of the difficulty here is the perception that developers and end-users have different needs when it comes to terminology.
