So we're outright changing these rather than deprecating the existing
forms?

In general we've pushed back on changes like this, and requested that
the old strings are kept in both documentation and code as deprecated
forms.

Can you guarantee that changing this is not going to stop someone's
board worknig properly? I suspect not.
