As I understand it, the two menu items call the same report file with different

Your concern boils down to the fact that both names appear in the menu.
While this is annoying, it has come up on the lists before that a person has
expected to find one of these reports, and wondered where it was—not knowing
that it was there under the other name. I believe it was decided that it was
easer just to include the same report under both names, making its availability
clear to a broader set of users. Unless there is complete agreement in the
field for one name over another in all circumstances (and there doesn’t appear
to be), it does no harm to include both, in my opinion.
Honestly, it would be more useful in my opinion to clear out the “standard”
reports that serve no purpose other than to show a potential report programmer
(I haven’t heard of many of those, besides Doug Doughty and Chris Lam) how they
might write new reports. The two “vs. Day of Week” reports and the two sample
reports come to mind. I'm also unsure of the purpose of most of the Budget
reports, and when I asked on the lists for descriptions of these, I did not
receive any input, suggesting that I am not alone in wondering at their purpose.
But the two entries for the same report? Not a big deal.
Thank you David
Many users have saved reports that depend on the existing reports' guids
being available, so, for now there is little imperative to remove the
duplicated report.
