'Format' never sat right with me. It conflicts with the format() built in. File format implies a difference like NetCDF4 vs. GRIB vs. Zarr, not the geometry conventions used within a NetCDF4 file. A NetCDF4 file does not use the CF Metadata Convention format, it uses the CF Metadata Conventions.
Convention is a better name that more accurately reflects its purpose.
All usages have been renamed. A backwards compatible import has been added, and Format implementations added to emsarray.formats entrypoint are still used. All the backwards compatible layers emit deprecation warnings if used.
