I think the change clarifies the documentation, but if you feel
strongly about it we can of course revert it.

Well, it does cause confusion.  AFAIK, none of the other Emacsen will
work with semantic, TRAMP, or any of the other Lisp packages where I
removed that term.  Maybe XEmacs will work with some of them still,
but that's kind of besides the point these days.  For better or for
worse, in the context of these packages, there is exactly one Emacs
implementation that is relevant.
