Subject: [lmap] framework/terminology bootstrap vs initialization

There's currently an inconsistency between the framework and terminology as to whether to use the term bootstrap or initialize (bootstrap protocol is used by an initializer?). I would prefer consistency of either a bootstrap protocol used by a bootstrapper (or bootstrap function) or an initialization protocol used by an initializer. I'm wondering if this happened as a result of someone being confused about what was meant by "bootstrap"? I rather liked bootstrap, though, and saw no need for the switch. The terminology definition of bootstrap protocol seems clear me.
