Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:32 peterwilsoncc]:
 > I'm fine with it be renamed but what is the hesitancy about the name?

 It just seemed like a better idea to align with the existing wording used
 in the UI rather than a single inline comment, see [35604] / #34509.

 I think the current wording might also have unnecessary negative
 connotations in some contexts, which I'd like to avoid in favor of a more
 neutral one, pretty much like [48121] / #50413.

 Maybe it's just me though, I'd like to know others' thoughts too :)
