Isn't this a perfect example of why it should be scrapped? There'll be
issues, time and code spent on trying to make ``developer'' resemble
``user''; when the simplest thing would be to just use the latter.

What are the concrete issues with just using "user", and perhaps we
can address them?

Cheers,

Andrew
