Coincidentally we were discussing this yesterday, see 
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6600865.  I also assumed 
it was going to be an easy fix - just an update to some static text in a 
JSP, but when Martin looked at it it turned out to be a significant 
amount of work.  The bug evaluation isn't visible on BOO, but to 
paraphrase, the "leaders" link appears in the sidebar as well as at the 
top of the page, and that's not static text, it is held in the database, 
and the string "leaders" also appears in the link paths, so the 
navigation mappings inside the application would also need to be 
changed.  Finally the term "leaders" appears in 310 page titles and in 
2003 page bodies in the site, each of those would have to be examined 
and corrected manually if necessary.

We are planning to replace the current portal entirely, so we will fix 
it as part of that process, rather than spending resources on something 
that is going away anyway.
