Um, when you said that it can't talk to two devices at once in earlier versions, that's not entirely true. It could in AC, it just couldn't listen to more then 1 device at once. And it could just talk to half the number of devices that you can with AX.

@PongoXBongo Not till technology that are not equally capable in both directions are phased out of use, something that's most certainly not the case right now. AC devices can send data to multiple devices at once but only receive data from a single source. So as long as those exists we need the capability in our language to discuss them. And even once they're gone we'll need the terminology for historic purposes.
