(We even discussed whether to unprefix at LC not long ago) Renaming this value does not seem helpful in such a context. There is a point beyond which making changes for the sake of naming consistency become more expensive than they're worth. I think we have been past that point for some time now. We added two values to this property last week to round out its behavior. I'd like to leave it alone unless there is compelling evidence that there is an issue that needs fixing.
