To be less confusing to newcomers (the IPFS filesystem isn't Unix-specific anyway, and it isn't even very POSIX-specific [1,2,3]). I'm a bit uncertain about having one name for users and another for devs, but the consensus seems to be that mainaining two names is worth the trouble [4]. We also kicked around: * 'files' (plural), * 'filesystem' (too long), and * 'fs' (redundant after 'ipfs', even though IPFS isn't just about filesystems) on IRC [5 through 6]. I wish there was a more evocative term. I'm never sure where "file" lands on the scale between "filesysytem", "everything is a file", "a single chunk of data with an associated inode". But we can't think of anything better.

Will do, although I don't see what's especially Unix-y about these file nodes.
