OpenVMS folks haven't been known to embrace evolving terminology.

HBVS in place of RAID-1.  PAK.  Whatever weird term Process was using 
in place of Firewall.  Block for Sector and Cluster for Block.  Etc.

Your own jargon works great for a while, then folks start to look at 
you funny.  Or the folks can't find what they're looking for in the doc.
