Names *matter*, internal names doubly so.  So why replace a good name with
a worse name?  Because it is slightly less work for you?
So if we agree on the name "notes" and we decide to rename the other
arches, this should all be done in a separate patchset anyway, and ontop
of this one. And I believe Kees wouldn't mind doing it ontop since he's
gotten his hands dirty already. :-P
Yeah, I'm fine with that. I would prefer to do it as a separate step,
just to minimize the logical steps each patch takes. Shall I spin a v3
with the Acks added and a final rename for this?
