 $taxonomy )` to `is_taxonomy_hierarchical( $taxonomy )`.

 about using the word "term", as to me it's a technical one, although I
 have no idea what the alternative could be. Is it used in help text
 elsewhere?

 As @raggedrobbins [http://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/02/17/what-it-
 means-for-a-taxonomy-to-be-hierarchical/#comment-10121 noted] on
 make:docs, there's quite a bit of text on this screen that could use a
 refresh.

 Personally, I would champion a move away from button-holing ourselves into
 using specific taxonomy names and instead going with the more generic
 'term' term. This dropdown label is one small example of a larger issue.
