Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:5 obrienlabs]:
 > @ocean90 I'll agree that `front end` may not be good for all cases in
 future. However, best I can tell it's correct right now. Nothing in the
 patch references putting something in front of something else (which would
 be `front-end/frontend`), rather everything is relating to the part of the
 software closest to the user (`front end`).

 If my understanding is correct, "on the front end" (noun) is different
 from "front-end links", "front-end theme", or "front-end site signups"
 (adjective), and the latter instances should not be changed.
