Fully understood. If the title change is kept in 0.22, we must at least
make that very clear in the release announcement, especially if the docs
aren't updated. Furthermore, if we treat this a mistake that we're gonna
revert, I think we should fix it in the first 0.22 point-release if
there will be one. I don't see the point in waiting until 0.23. Or did I
miss anything?
