Yeah, it's come up before in discussions here. Depending on the context you're coming from/working in, unchecked either makes more sense, or less sense than unsafe. When working within Rust, unsafe makes sense, it maps to how people think about what they are doing, because rustc is checking everything. When working between Rust and other languages/libraries, it's a bit less accurate, and "unchecked" makes more sense.
