[drupal-devel] what do you call a rose?

[Gustavo Dias]

    I completely agree with use of user-friendly terms, and think that 
changes like this one (from Taxonomy to Categories), is nothing less 
than make the things obvious (in my point of view a need).

    That kind of change also reduce the learning curve of Drupal, wich 
is a threat for new admins *and* developers...
