 the following:

 is changed, the class will need to remain in CSS to maintain back-compat
 for developers following Core's HTML structure.

 the new default text can use the `cheatin` property.

 I agree that the class/object names can stay the same for back-compat.

 The problem is on the front-end for users/clients, which is where the
 language needs to be changed.
