There *was* an article linked on the first page. That article reports that the name was changed to avoid offending anyone. That is what I remember too.

I'm sure the Villages made the change to keep up with industry standards. There is nothing to gain by digging in their heels and insisting on using a word that has become obsolete.

The reason for the change was foolish but neither hurts me nor offends me. Those who argue so vehemently against it frighten me.
I just think it's a stupid change... A solution in search of a problem...
