I didn't think that is true. Have you ever seen legacy code. Some code in Cobol and Fortran still exists and is functional. Redis isn't as old as those ofcourse but everyone who used it will need to change code and docs. This isn't some isolated word doc that can be fixed with a findall/replaceall command this is backend code connected to many systems. I am not even a professional developer , I am a researcher/grad student and I have faced such issues with something as new as Tensorflow.

If it is such a big issue, then those who had the problem can fork the repo and change the terminology in their fork. Legacy code that wants to use updated redis won't be affected.
