Changing the name would cause far more collective confusion and pain than the
very small percent of people who might not understand when it's appropriate to
call (and changing the name won't help them understand when it is appropriate!).

And thats exactly my goal here: whatever it takes. I want to cause confusion so
that people think twice before calling optimize. Because I totally disagree
with you that its a small percentage of people that know when its appropriate
to call, when integrations such as Jan's example call it after every commit:
thats horrible.
Thats why I think we should rename it in lucene, rename it in solr, but if
people start pushing back thats fine.
I can totally take this up myself with the blogging/email list route instead
and intentionally cause so much fucking confusion that nobody will ever use
this again.
