Comment:

 Unlike the users and posts table, the terms table has no ID column. From
 that point it doesn’t make sense to adopt the behavior from the other
 functions. Since terms have actually two IDs we shouldn’t really promote
 another alias for an existing alias `id` for `term_id`.

 Voting for a revert of [47865].
