The top level post asks to change it for political reasons not to match new aws changes which would make sense. Trying to shutdown discussion by saying this wasn't constructive is not something HN supports and I would ask you to refrain from doing that. The fact that previously neutral words are now negative words is fair game. Perhaps they were never neutral words. Let's discuss, not dismiss.

Not quite. I didn’t actually ask for the wording to be changed. At the very least (and primarily), it’s a term AWS is retiring, and a company like Vantage whose service is entirely based off AWS (for now) is wise to keep parity. That I alluded to companies having reasons for updating certain words is relevant and useful. And I leave it unsaid as to what the reasons are and whether they’re justified because that’s up to the Vantage CEO if there’s further merit beyond syncing docs to make the change.
