Acronyms are no fun in descriptions I agree. But the problem here is that FASTA and FASTQ aren't really acronyms, and besides these terms are extremely well known (like 'tar' or 'zip').
On a side note, FASTA was first used by the "FASTA" program circa 1985 (just like I am). And just like me it is still going - last release was April. I might have a go at packaging it.
