> Edge normally means "servers that are very close to your users".

In the circles I'm in, that's definitely not true. Purely anecdotal of course, but Edge definitely refers to a browser made by Microsoft around here.

I think it would make more sense to people who work on a CDN everyday.

This may sound like FUD but I'd strongly encourage people to stop spending too much time on edge or internet explorer. Just do the bare minimum and focus on Chrome/Firefox. It is better for everyone. I am very disappointed that Microsoft decided to bundle edge with Windows showing yet again they don't get it. Microsoft should be able to update edge separately of Windows. Without this, corporate users (pretty much the only reason to support ie/edge) will still be behind the curve for a long time.
