Coming up with new names though is less than ideal.  The Microsoft
community has used split-brain, which might be an option, but might
not get a lot of support from this community (including me). RFC 7719
seems to prefer the term "view" for better or worse.  I kind like that.
Paul's comment doesn't convince me it shouldn't be apportioned for this.
