I didn't necessarily wanted to use "stage", it is "sad" because a
new word-hunt may be needed for a replacement to "index" (as "stage" may
not be a good word for i18n audience), and then we would need to keep
"index", "stage" and that third word as interchangeable terms.

Spliting the userbase by introducing a new form to an established
terminology was bad enough, and making that three is worse.

I don't think that line of reasoning makes sense at all....
We should be picking terms that make the most sense in English, and
then translators will translate those into whatever makes the most
sense in their language.

OK.
