I immediately thought "Secure Edition" when I read the title...

  I read it special edition like motherboard / slimmed edition. Usually SE is a trimmed down edition...

    Or "Standard Edition" ala Java SE...really not doing themselves any favors with the ambiguous, expanded naming conventions here.

      Or "Second Edition" ala Windows 98 SE.

        Or "system expansion" as in the Mac SE which followed the Mac Plus with an internal hard drive and developer accessible bus. (It was followed by the SE/30 which was a great machine. Things went downhill in naming from there.)

  Funnily, I thought they'd say "Small Edition" :)

  ...And I was hoping it would be. No big security updates here, it seems.

  I think they're taking a cue from the way car trim levels are marketed. Consumers have learned to associate meaning with concise trim names, e.g. SE (standard, small, sporty), LE/LX/LS (luxury), etc. Names are concise and global* without directly pointing out the fact some editions are inferior to others ("Limited", "Standard", "Plus", "Super"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_trim_nomenclature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_trim_nomenclature (* that is, you don't really need to know that SEL stands for Sonderklasse Einspritzung (Lange) to know it comes with something more than an SL).
