The name issue was raised before (the name clashes with the paper.js library, IIRC), but no vendor had objected (the feature was added over a year ago now - March 2012), the suggested alternative names weren't great, the compatibility issue wasn't huge, and so I left it as is, and Apple shipped it. Changing it now seems like a poor time to change it. ...but, if you won't ship it, maybe we need to change it after all? Would Apple ship a different name?
