This is the very first time I see (in years) a flame on this mailing
list. 

Perhaps one may want to consider that changing a word with a
consolidated meaning within a community may cause more trouble than
help. 

In any case, debian is so well documented that really takes no time to
find out the meaning of anything, despite conventions that one may not
like. 

I added [OT] to the subject because this is actually OT (out of topics).
