Hm... Is there really a problem here in my proposal or in the English
language ...? I know from the USA that this is also summarized there (at
least that's what I got from friends, so no general statement either).
Wikipedia also speaks of: "The mail or post is a system for physically
transporting postcards, letters, and parcels." [1]Â

So in this situation: How can we build consensus?

What would be your suggestion for a clearer naming?
What I thought about was: change postal_partner to service:postal or
something (see my proposal Case 2) analogical to service:vehicels or
service:bicycle
