Probably a silly question, so please bear with me, because I feel like I'm missing a big piece of the puzzle here. I've been trying to sort it out.

Why in CE-EX-05.5 is the line removed about Oromë naming the Quendi Eldar? There is no explanation here that I can find, but I may have missed it. My working assumption is that a decision was made somewhere along the way, perhaps in another thread, to keep "Eldar" only for Elves of the Great Journey. If that's the reason, can someone point me to the place where this was decided? I'd be curious to read the arguments for and against.

The other reason I ask is because in CE-EX-25, the reference to Oromë naming the Eldar remains. Perhaps it was an issue of avoiding repetition?

I regret being such a late-comer to this project, so apologies for retreading ground that was settled long ago.

Edit: Nevermind. I think I answered my own question mere minutes after asking it.
