When offended people overreact and make up strawmen, that's when the 
discussion is derailed.

It's very hard to move forward (at all) if nobody creates proposals on 
"how we should be doing things better", or if they are actively shunned. 
And it's on us, as a community, to be able to discuss them 
constructively, on the merits.

FWIW, my position is we don't need to change everything, especially not 
the low-level functions (car and aref are fine; seq.el and map.el 
provide good generic replacements), but the problem is real. And "you 
can use the index in the manual" is not a good replacement for 
consistent naming conventions.
