Pin header wrong names by KLC?

I was doing a schematic and linking the footprints. So was I quite annoying found the correct pin header.

Now reading the KLC Conventions for Connectors I realize that that name of the Pin_Header library is in the opposite order.

By this standardization I understood that, for example, the Pin_Header_Straight_2x20_Pitch2.54mm, Pin_Header_Angled_2x20_Pitch2.54mm and Pin_Header_Straight_2x20_Pitch2.54mm_SMD would be called Pin_Header-2x20_Pitch2.54mm_Vertical (or even without _Vertical because is the most common), Pin_Header-2x20_Pitch2.54mm_Horizontal and Pin_Header-2x20_Pitch2.54mm_SMD. Am I correctly?

Even in documentation, the example is PinHeader_1x10_P2.54mm_Drill1.25mm_Horizontal.

The pin headers have already been renamed in the new repo. The old repo is declared a legacy repo and will be kept in its current state such that kicad v4 does not break.
