This sounds a bit like King Canute saying the tide won't come in. Everywhere my peers are, senior just means a step up from plain engineer/developer & sits at roughly 5-10 years. The name doesn't have to mean anything, it could be interchangeable with the level numbers at larger companies - ask finance people what Vice President means.
