Suggestion: consider adding alias to "architect" and name it "targets"

[shairez]

Versions

Angular cli 6.0.0

Repro steps

not relevant

Observed behavior

Architect is a very confusing name because from what I understood from @Brocco it represents the different build targets.

Desired behavior

Maybe a better name for it could be targets
I know that we cannot change it now, because we need to wait to 7.
But we maybe can add an alias called "targets" which acts the same way, and change the docs and our own schematics to use that.
And maybe deprecate it in 7 or future version.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

This is a good time to to add this change as (probably) not a lot of people are using the new config yet

Again, it's just a suggestion because I think the naming could convey the meaning better in this case, but I might be wrong or don't see the full picture.

I also feel like targets look more "straight to the point" than architect.

Also wondering is such change add any value for nx team 🤔

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
