I’m happy to have aliases for things with the new config registrar, since it centralizes the list of aliases and greatly reduces the maintenance burden.

I don’t feel strongly about renaming the canonical version in the docs though. If we think it’s better to leave the authoritative name the longer-standing name, that’s completely fine with me.
