This is referencing 'exa', of which eza is a fork. Exa was unmaintained for about a year before it was marked officially deprecated by the only person with write permissions on the repository. It has definitely been long enough now since the forking, where not everyone is aware of exa, and this language/intent is now far less clear. I see you are not the only one to comment on this, so I think it's time to update the phrasing.
