Public bug reported:

NOTE: This was converted to a bug from a question in the Software Center
project:

  https://answers.launchpad.net/software-center/+question/203315

like i said in the summary: we have an application called software
center, a name that communicates perfectly the fact that everything the
user may need, he will find it through that application.

In my opinion calling the software updater "update center" could help
naming consistency across core applications and give the user a
reassuring feeling about something as important as system updates.

what do you think?

ps. i posted this question here because i couldn't find the software
updater lauchpad entry, i hope it's not a problem :)
