I noticed and it I am still not sure it is the right choice. Many people
didn't even get the idea on what was different from previous releases of
Fedora or other distributions on this particular USB feature. I am still
of the opinion "persistent overlay" is just not the right terminology
for end users.
I can only tell you that I was *very* clear in the interviews what made
this different, both from the "persistence" perspective and the
"non-destructive" perspective. That journalists may still have got it
wrong doesn't seem like a problem that renaming is going to solve.
