Yes, because someone changed it. You remember the original title chosen by the bug reporter was "Unity launcher buttons should allow to minimize apps, not just launch/restore"? That's not helping your arguments and neither is stating your opinions as facts.

I should open a bug about "why terminology matters on launchpad"? Really I thought we could put that behind us and then I get a flamebait like that.

Anyway, in case anyone is wondering why I'm approaching this whole thing somewhat tediously, I'm trying to instill a certain mindset into the Unity design discussion, to treat UX more like science than usual code patching. It's my opinion that we should not put up with hacks, workarounds, inconsistencies and half baked so called solutions from the get-go when it comes to the user experience. By not using exact definitions when even attempting to start a discussion I can't see how such results can be avoided. The current state of Unity isn't exactly helping in dispelling my concerns.
