I think that ship has sailed. "Drone" is a single, simple word that the public is using to describe flying robots. Trying to convince everyone to not use it will be a Sisyphean task.

I'd still like "hacker" back, but that ain't gonna happen.

I think the distinction he/she's looking for is that these particular drones aren't flying murderous robots, just like all hackers aren't trying to steal grandma's social security number.
