To me, this is not an issue given the audience (people too lazy to read the docs): for them, current == simple == upstream modulo details they're not interested about. The safety measure of "simple" is actually here to make sure nothing wrong happens if they make the confusion.

But that's just a preference, I'm OK with your other proposal too.
