Changing Needs Archived log name to a Less confrontational name

So is changing the Needs Archived log name to a Less confrontational name, a good idea?

Personally I'd say yes, but I would having to deal with the angst generated. And not just cache owners, see Needs Archiving as being very confrontational. Because many times a cache does not get Archived, after a Reviewer steps in and posts a Reviewer log. Which acts as a kick up the backside.

But at the end of the day, people need to express their own opinions. Which they have a opportunity to do in the Groundspeak Get Satisfaction Feedback topic, started by our own Mrs B

removal of the Facebook Link on Geocaching.com

As I know many will not actively use the Groundspeak Get Satisfaction feedback facility, which is a shame as it allows the community to actively see what other community members think of specific ideas. Without the angst which can be found in the forums.

Also as I know many are blocking the Geocaching "Like" Facebook link on cache pages, they will not have seen the announcement by Jeremy Irish the CEO of Groundspeak. That the "like" Facebook Link is being removed. As it did not work out as expected.

So why not visit the Groundspeak Get Satisfaction feedback facility and keep up with what's current. What feedback the Lackeys have posted in regards to Feedback topics (Planned, Not Planned, Under Consideration)

People for years have moaned that Groundspeak does not listen to the community. Well now they are, if a topic proves to be popular. Showing the communities interest/feelings on a topic. They are now tacking notice. But for it to be affective, the community needs to use it.
