Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 Sorry, I can't hold my thoughts on this.  If you have a website with a
 list of products, what does the term ''"Product Archive"'' mean?  In
 business it typically means product you no longer sell.  How about a site
 for movies; what does a ''"Movie Archive"'' mean?  Frankly, I can't think
 of what its relevance would be on the web.

 The term "Archive" only applies to content that is time-based, i.e. it
 would be reasonable to have an Event Archive. And even then only to things
 that have expired so-to-speak, and you are using the them ''"Archive"'' to
 apply to the normal list of posts.  This is only going to confuse most
 people who are not already immersed in WordPress lore.

 I know you don't take my input for much so I do realize you won't change
 on my advice, but at least I can point people to this when people ask me
 why theyheck WordPress chose to use such confusing terminology for
 something that will be so commonly used.  FWIW.

 -Mike
