+1.

I also don't think it's worth changing the actual names, I think
that'll cause more problems than it solves. But we can, and probably
should, change the messaging around it, particularly the docs (but
probably also comments in the config file).

Agreed, making it searchable and easily cross-linkable.. And maybe
both terms should be in the glossary.
