I didn't catch all the discussion on this, but appears to be a discussion of what terminology to use. Let's keep both! Lots of times I get comments that my 10 mo old looks like the Gerber baby (how ironic). I make sure to tell everyone that she is that chubby, healthy and pretty because of breastfeeding. But lots of time I say "I'm nursing her" - just seems that term is less of a shock factor for the uninitiated. Also I like the term due to the nurturing factor and not only feeding.
