Some of the target names in the makefiles are inconsistent and does not
clearly reflect what they do. They should be improved but the old names
should be kept as aliases for people who are used to them.
Examples:
images -> product-images
docs -> docs-image
I find "images" and "docs" quite clear as-is. I don't understand what a
"docs-image" might be. And "product" is totally subjective and easily
confused with a "release" build versus fastdebug etc.
Maybe because of things like "exploded-image" (which is what? what is
the unexploded image?) the use of "image" alone is less clear, but still
"product-image" doesn't seem right.
Sorry.
