This was discussed at the 8/3 working meeting, and @davaya clarified that the real issue is the use of the term "actuator" in the specification where "profile" would be more appropriate. This will be a breaking change, as it affects the message content definition, and should be handled promptly. @davaya will be preparing a corresponding PR.
The word actuator was discussed at a working meeting a few weeks ago. Apparently the word causes some misunderstandings. Changing would be a breaking fix (ie would cause to increment to V2.0). Initial proposal was to defer for awhile but consensus was reached that it would be better to do sooner rather than later.
What should the word be?
The language spec defines actuator:
If you have a proposed word to replace it, add a comment below. If you like one of the alternatives someone put below, then give it a thumbs up. If you are against a particular word, give it a thumbs down.
