There's not such thing as self-documenting labels.
I see no reason to changing the names. I'm new to FreeBSD,
some three weeks, or so. I spent 5 minutes reading the
handbook, to learn that -CURRENT is not for me. But for the
masses, reading is a pain. They do not read. Period.
For people who do not read, evrything is the problem,
so why bother? So my solution would be to refer them
to the docs, and if they don't follow -- filter them :-)

Or else change the naming, and have the names duplicated,
another source of confusion.
