Hi,

I believe both the FAQ and the documentation do explain the naming issue near the beginning. But the rest of the document should use one name consistently, or it will just look silly and confusing. Also consider that many of our written resources are not read linearly, so it becomes even more important to use consistent terminology that does not require much context to understand.

So I think what is being proposed is wrong and needs to be reverted.

It's a compromise, a single step of a slow migration (which I still see as the only reasonable option).

While I certainly agree that such documents should strive for consistent naming in general, I think it's absolutely acceptable for an open source project to break with that rule during such a migration. As pointed out i.e. by Bruce, confusion between the two names isn't that big.

Regards

Markus
