Maybe it's a bit off-topic to ask this on this list but I don't know where
else this has been discussed.
Why this change? What does I/o means? (well I know the input/output
meaning, but if that's it, I don't see the generic relationship with a
switch, so I assume it's another meaning)

I personally find this a lot less understandable than a translated on/off.
Fortunately GtkSwitch also has color that shows if the switch is on or off,
otherwise this I/o would be totally puzzling to me, as for whether the
field is checked or not.

P.S.: I am sure I am late and this has probably been discussed on some
report before since it looks like an already done decision. But I still
wanted to add my small comments. I hope you don't mind!
