Greg, I want to like this just for the level of effort. Naming is also some of the most difficult abstractions, so I'd grant that.
However, the main issue is that the "unit" boundary where permissions are generally based having the same name will always create confusion.
In other words, had they started calling Jira Projects something else, like Jira Tranches, I'd say marketing has failed but you get used to it over time. Changing it intentionally to line up as the same thing as Confluence boggles me.
I'm in that late stage approach of just acceptance as well. I wish we weren't encumbered by this dinosaur, but it's what we have.
