If the choice is between customer vs. consumer, I prefer customer.

I don't know if it is too late to bring this up.

But I really don't like either, normal language has a strong indication 
that that that a customer is a person (a person that walks inte to your 
shop) and consumer is also a person /that eatss what i bought at your shop).

IETF specifies "systems", including what goes into SW and HW, but we 
don't specify normative rules for human behavior.

I don't know if we can talk about Customer System?
