Having the same name for property and phase does not look a good idea.

Phase are not expected to receive significant change while the property name are expected to be alterable by extension or later mechanism. As Highlighted during the sprint several use case may lead to the same kind of behavior (immutable, shared) without using phase directly.

	For example I expect he obsolete concept to control the sharing of changeset with a different logic than the phase one[1].

Having the same name for phase and property will lead to confusion.

[1] But quite similar as you won't exchange a changeset without it's parent.
