This is too much.  You are removing words we used for decades in Emacs
development for no good reason.  You think they are "just jargony and
unhelpful", but for me and others this part of our culture and our
history of involvement in the Emacs development.  We treasure that
history.  Right now, I feel like a chunk of my personal history has
been rewritten.

There still are "other Emacsen" out there, even though most of them
are all but moribund nowadays.  But even if they were completely dead,
the word doesn't have to be removed.  It does no harm by just being
there.

I think these changes are misguided.  They go way beyond the
reasonable.  Please don't do that.
