It's not going to change any time soon, IMHO. Programmers have too big of a culture of individuality, blogging, and intellectual daydreaming to actually try to come to consensus on terms of art. On top of which businesses are loathe to share data because it's tied very closely to their competitive advantage. Programming culture is more about memetic and shared ideas and uses tradition to select winning strategies. Until this changes, it'll continue to be discordant voices talking over each other. Ideology [1] is a great talk about this.

Makes sense though, developer productivity is first and foremost a business management issue so discussions about it ought to follow the same path as business management. And business management love their anecdotes, great person citations and jargon.
