no, please!

Let's keep it simple.  We have Axciom developers, and axiom users.
Axiom developers are those who work directly on Axiom's source files.
Axiom users are those who install Axiom for their use.

Axiom is complicated, rightly or wrongly perceived so.  We don't want
to give the impression not only Axiom developers are also complicated
but Axiom users must be complicated too.
