Comment (by zooko):

 Replying to [comment:11 daira]:
 > I'm still not sure why we're deprecating "/file" which is used, rather
 than deprecating "/named" which is unused. (I value having fewer redundant
 options but I'm not sure it really matters what they are called.)

 I wanted to move to "/named" because it explains what it actually does —
 it changes the name of the downloaded file. Calling this feature "/file"
 is confusing because it is still a file even if you don't use this
 feature.
