Comment (by swissspidy):

 > Also, while we're at it, these classes should try to be more SOLID then
 the rest of WordPress, so I think we should aim for a better way for
 dealing with the rewrite rules. As rewriting rules are also used for other
 data types, why not split this out into its own object?

 Next generation rewrites are being worked on in #36292.

 > I would think that calling `WP_Taxonomy` a type of `Content` will add to
 the confusion about what taxonomies even are and how they are used.

 > Also, the terminology of posts is widely established in the community
 and a change like that would probably lead to confusion as we cannot
 change it everywhere in the Core code (inconsistency).

 Correct, that would definitely confusing and inconsistent. Imaging
 `register_post_type()` returning a `WP_Content_Type` object.
 https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/post-formats-vs-custom-post-
 types/ is a great read for that. I don't think the class name is up for
 discussion here.
