As a perpetual newbie, I can assure you that what they actually do make 
Blender more difficult to learn. (It doesn't help that "ipo" also stands for 
"initial price offering").

I thought the point of the rewrite was to fix what was bad, not hold on to 
things that are admittedly broken and (most frustratingly) trivial to fix for 
the sake of sediment. 

I understand that sediment, but for the new user, things like "ipo" and 
"grabber" don't convey what they should. They serve as a point of frustration 
and confusion, not fond memories.
