I don't consider the fact that someone else uses the same term for a
similar thing to be a negative. Unless that thing isn't really similar
at all.
Agreed I just wanted to point it out. I was mainly a bit concerned with
how converted devs might look at it. I don't know what most users think,
but I know when I saw WAS needed a feature pack to do what I was doing I
just would skip it unless I really needed it. The WAS feature packs were
usually huge and I never liked the way they applied.
That said, it's also a positive being the same name for converts as they
know what it means.
