Holding Swim Ring -> Holding Innertube

Posted under Tags

BUR #49660 has been rejected.

create alias holding_swim_ring -> holding_innertube

This has been something bothering me for a long time. Because seriously, who the fuck uses "swim ring"?

Also, literally all our other innertube related tags (both pre and post gardening) use "innertube", making this one stick out like a sore thumb.

It's named this because it also refers to holding lifebuoys.

I think that's a pretty silly reason, honestly. A lifebuoy looks fairly similar to an innertube, and also you get lifebuoys and innertubes in the same search already. Why not just call the holding tag "innertube" instead?

topic #25557, topic #17296, etc. Basically, regional differences in the definition of innertube vs lifebuoy vs swim ring.

Whatever we decide on, I only hope it'd be consistent.
