Hi,
In the spirit of keeping it simple.

Why not "Configuration" ?

OSGi Configuration is nearly always referred to as  "OSGi Configuration" by
those that use Sling/AEM. I think it's only referred to as Configuration by
those whose context is nearly always OSGi, ie OSGI developers. Most
deployers don't see Sling/AEM as an OSGi container, they see it as
Sling/AEM. Could be wrong about that.

Best Regards
Ian
