If that last point were the doctrine by which previous refactorings had to be undertaken (e.g. the refactoring of the Component Architecture), we would still be stuck with services and other antiquated concepts. Neither Stephan nor I had a problem with deprecating or even removing well-documented concepts and neither of us seems to regret that. Other than that, I share your observations regarding the names, only the reason why we shouldn't switch to "user" is a different one: it might still be valuable to distinguish the person from the object.
