Or at least, it declares that they're using "distributed" to mean
something different from the normal meaning of the label
"distributed". Normally it would mean an architecture where nodes
communicate directly with one another across the network, with no
central controller and no single point of failure.
But it's your package, and you're the one we'd be expecting to do
the work of keeping the terminology consistent in README files and
so on, so feel free to pick and choose from our suggestions.

An unwikiishly coherent and useful one, too - it would be a good
idea to at least point at it from the man page's SEE ALSO section.
