Urbit is often about confusing naming and reinventing/redesigning meaning. I guess you have to accept it to really get into it?

Which is a brilliant way to exploit people’s sunk-cost bias.

Brilliant in the same way that cults are brilliant when they redefine a lot of meanings.

In this case it's basically just used to mean 'reset'.
It should also hopefully be the last one required with all future changes able to be OTA updates (as most updates were previously to the breach).
People love to argue about the names of things, but I don't think it really matters that much.

FWIW this is my first time coming across this project, and I had the same initial reaction.
Is it really necessary to use the word "breach" in a big yellow banner at the top?
The word "breach" is usually associated with some kind of security penetration, and might be scary to first-time users (like me).
On further reading, it seems something more akin to a "desynchronization event requiring your attention", which is far more reassuring.
