I know not everybody believes in a plugable reclaim policy, but that is
what I'm building. And from that POV I'd rather not see the
active/inactive names get used here.


active/inactive is what we have now. If you manage to get a pluggable
reclaim policy merged then I assure you, renaming these yet again will
be the least of your worries :)

My vote goes to Coywolf's suggestion.


What was that?
