I don't care strongly enough to cause a respin of half the series, and
it's not your problem that I waited until the last revision went into
mmots to review and comment. But if you agreed to a revert, would you
consider tacking on a revert patch at the end of the series?
In this case, I'm going to ask the other people on the cc for a
tie-breaker. If someone else prefers the old names then I'm happy for
your patch to be applied on top with my ack instead of respinning the
whole series.

Anyone for a tie breaker?
I am aggressively undecided.  I guess as it's a bit of a 51/49
situation, the "stay with what people are familiar with" benefit tips the
balance toward the legacy names?
I still can't decide. It's currently still a draw in terms of naming. If
you're worried, use the old naming. It wouldn't be the first time I
thought a name was odd.
Well I dunno.  We can leave the series as-is for now and we can merge
the rename-it-back patch sometime during the next -rc cycle if we find
that people are running around in confusion and tumbling out of high
windows.
