"refactoring" means changing the (often implicit) structure of code without changing its external behaviour.
In this case "reorganized" or "repartitioned" could probably be more apt.
If we'd talked about software here (and not disk layout), I'd have considered less leniently the use of "refactoring", and a hint of unclear intentions.
Sorry for being so nitpicky, but this is a sore thumb from too many "refactorings" that are, indeed, somenthing else.
- asymptosis 6y agoRefactoring has the meaning that we impute to it. God didn't hand down golden tablets in the 60s with the words "thou shalt only use 'refactor' in these prescribed ways". Instead of being sorry for being nitpicky, maybe just keep your nitpicks to yourself in future.
