Fine. If we make the changes to the meaning of the keywords AND the angle, so that the only way to reliably create the desired gradient is with IE6+ "filter" property, then I would like us to also change the name of the CSS image generator to something like 'straight-gradient()' to reflect how different it is from previous 'linear-gradient'. Then IE can create whatever prefixed image generator it wants, even calling it '-ms-foo()' if it wants, as is its prerogative.
