There's a lot of name legacy in Emacs. There's certainly room for some crusader to go hog-wild renaming things. And then for another to come along later and re-rename in some other direction. As usual, we're better off considering any possible renamings one case at a time. Following any "Consistency Now!" pied-piping is likely to lead to some buyer's remorse at some point. Not to mention a lot of time spent, including by users trying to deal with such name changes.
