So, to be clear, you admit that your purpose is to sway an entire community over to your way of thinking. Is that correct?

Whether one likes or dislikes the current naming convention, any significant change to that convention, would quite likely 
create confusion for newcomers and perhaps old-timers as well. "Why do the guidelines say this, but the code is written like 
that?" This would be loosely similar to a version bump that breaks API compatibility.

Unless there is a compelling benefit to changing, why do it?
