To be fair, it does make sense to have some vision as to which
direction those renames should tend to, if one wants to have
some overall consistency. Even if that direction itself changes
over time (which, of course, threatens that consistency, alas).
It's a process.
In this light, proposals like Philippe's are very valuable.
They are part of the process. Even when they explode in a
flurry of bikeshedding, that seems to be part of it too.
What I find sad is when it results on people being hurt.
Cheers
