Does this qualify as bike shedding? What is the business impact either way? If someone prefers one or the other, so what!
All arguments seem pretty frail, always reduced to some form of "well this way makes it easier for ME to reason about!". I used to have opinions on this crap, and nowadays I've got way bigger fish to fry than worrying about table name plurality. As long as it's human-legible and consistent, who cares?

- orphea 1y agoIt is clearly not, and that's the whole reason people have an issue with it. The only mention of the word "consistency" was used to support the plural approach.
