I suggested to rename nSequence to nMaturity on this list even before the bips and implementations were started, probably too late now.
Before the implementation "let's think about those naming details later".
After the implementation "now it's too late, now we would need to change the implementation, this renaming is now unnecessarily disruptive".

Reminds me of refactors and major releases:
At the beginning of the release "not now, this will disrupt development of feature X"
After feature X is merged or replaced by feature Y: "too late in the release cycle, refactors should be done only at the beginning, at the end is 'too risky' ".
