Would you also be against, for example, the use of the terminology expressing the "death" of allocated registers in a compiler backend, for example? How far do you plan take this resistence of terminology when it clearly has a well defined usage and meaning in a specific technical realm which is entirely disconnected to what the terms might imply, meaning wise, in other realms? And if you are going to say not to use this terminology, you must suggest a reasonable (and I do mean _reasonable_) well understood and _specific_ replacement. Thank you.
