Cool. I committed that and back-patched to v14, and here's the rest.
0001 makes the terminology change that I proposed earlier, and then
0002 is the remainder of what was in the previous patch set that
wasn't covered by what I committed already, with a few adjustments.

In particular, I preferred to stick with "avoid" rather than changing
to "prevent," and I thought it was clearer to refer to "failures"
plural rather than "failure" collective. These are arguable decisions,
though.

I propose to commit these changes only to master. I have included a
fairly long paragraph about that in the commit message for 0002.
