The industry roadmap has adopted a new nomenclature to try to clear this up, but it remains to be seen if the major companies will adopt it. In any case, people who jump to saying these process node names are bullshit because they don't simply map to something like a wire width are kinda naively missing the point. Everyone in the industry understands what's going on and these fab node names emerged naturally as a shorthand way of describing changes to design rules that are a lot more complex and varied. That's still true today.
