That's not how I read comment #40 ; I read that terms cannot be fetched by the API, which just seemed like a statement on a technical limitation that was there because of the intents around the use of terms in general. It'd be trivial to use (only) the brand name in a non-term string and fetch that, right? And I don't think of brand names as just any terms (in fact, given we can reference non-brand terms, I wonder what the point is of them being terms at all...), and there are definitely already places in the codebase where the brand name gets used in isolation.

Either way, I didn't read that as objecting to the approach. Perhaps Axel can clarify if it was indeed an objection to my suggestion, and if so, why?
