Prefigure means something else though an early indication or version of (something) So that might be a not-so-welcome association. I also think it's not a very google-able word. Having thought about this a little I believe configuration pretty much reflects what the new module does, even though it's not a perfect fit. It's mentioned in the Jira issue several times, we have classes with that name and also the wcm.io terminology page [1] talks about 'Configuration' in many places. The only downside that I'm aware of is that there might be some confusion regarding the relation between this module and OSGi configs. But sadly there's (IMO) just one word which captures this properly. Maybe we could go with Context-Aware Configuration? This outlines what the module brings on top of 'plain' OSGi configurations.
