One important aspect was missing in the announcement. The tool's new name is a tiny part of a much bigger set of community suggested and requested changes. Fully ignoring functionality changes that many community members suggested is biased.
Mechanical edit claim was also never justified -- saying it's a mechanical edit tool doesn't fit with the community's own definition, per wiki. Just the other day the importance of using the right word was mentioned - when I allegedly missed the word "deprecated". Let's keep things consistent, and not dilute or change the meaning of existing terms to fit the immediate agenda.
