Not sure. But I do know that conversations around resource names in REST 
API endpoints (yes, that is how the term has been used in OpenStack) 
have been numerous. Just search for various conversations around project 
or tenant, or any of the Tuskar API modeling conversations. These kinds 
of discussions do come up often, and for good reason... these are the 
public APIs of OpenStack and are our "first impression" to the user, so 
to speak. It's a lot easier to try and get things right first than go 
through endless deprecation and backwards compatibility discussions. :)
