P: Rename Lightroom Classic to "Lightroom Advanced" or "Lightroom Expert" or "Lightroom Custom" to reduce fear of it being considered legacy software that might one day get "sunset"

Lightroom Classic is software that I love using every day, and historically I feel it has been positioned as being on it’s way out, which is very scary. Even though cool features do get added, the ‘Classic’ framing make it feel like I’m invested in a dead end.

I’d like to vote against this. Changing the software’s name will not change Adobe’s plans to either sunset the software or not sunset the software.

Lightroom Classic is a very successful program, a huge number of people pay for it, and Adobe makes a lot of money from it. It would be a very very bad idea for both Adobe and its customers to eliminate this program.
