Oh, I didn't mean to imply that I am confused. It is clear that there are two concepts here, sharing a term. I was trying to communicate that the manual does not always make it immediately clear from context which concept is meant in a particular sentence.

A garage is a good analogy. A garage is a container for cars rather than a collection of cars. You wouldn't say "I sold my garage" to mean "I sold my car collection". Containers and collections are different things.

Here's a simple example In our context: "remove the cluster" could mean "delete the folder containing the databases", or "drop the databases". Those actions are not identical. I would think we would want to be clear to our users which we mean.

I’m sure we’d be willing to fix concrete problematic examples but a lack of those suggests there is no actual problem here...as you aren’t confused or providing concrete examples and suggestions I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with this thread.  Awareness of what seems to be a non-existent issue?
