Yes. This term was not my invention. It is a very old term in the
literature. If the L4 community bothered to read the relevant
literature, these unnecessary term collisions would occur less
frequently. In this case, it is L4 that must change, and the term
"filtered revocation" would be more informally descriptive and avoid
term collision.

It would also be nice if they *cited* the relevant literature
occasionally...
