@Bill Sheboy this just in - Atlassian Decoder Ring will now be renamed Translation Table to be more accessible to teams of all types. :-P
Jokes aside, I like the change assuming that Atlassian preserves our JQL, automation rules, etc. and does provide some sort of way to easily understand the before and after terminology.

Is there a summary of all the name changes going on somewhere?
Jira Issues > Work Items
Products > Apps
Plug-Ins/Apps/Add-Ons > ?
Projects > Spaces
Any others that I'm missing?
And when do all of these changes start impacting our end users? As some others mentioned, when will the projects terminology in JQL change over to spaces?
This is a significant shift, and it's great to see Atlassian working to create a more unified and intuitive experience across products. That said, since "spaces" already have a strong association with Confluence, I’m curious how this change will impact user training and cross-product understanding.
Will there be clear visual labels to help users differentiate between Jira "Spaces" and Confluence "Spaces"? Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
For the record, I like this change, as I've had customers refer to Jira projects as Jira spaces (at multiple companies, with no rhyme or reason).
If such a change makes spaces a literal space for work (items) and pages, this should reduce the cognitive load for our users. And since there are usually more users than admins, I support this change. 😉

I honestly don't care how much re-work this is going to cost me in updating automations, filters, dashboards, and documentation if it means I don't need to explain the difference between Project and Project yet another time!
