Ideally one wants terminology that works well on all levels, but I really don’t think users care about such distinctions very much. Putting on my user hat, it is called “Proxy” because it is sometimes on a separate host, and it is called “Smart” because people like calling stuff smart. It has a bunch of complicated stuff on it that I don’t particularly care about (so long as it works), and the only difference it makes if I am using Katello is that it has even more complicated stuff on it.
