Maybe the name is bad but is it really worth the churn to change it at this point?

Yes. The current name is hard enough to remember that I get it wrong half the time. I know I'm not the only one.

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Since this was worked on we've added automatic linting for valid Services usage so I think the need for this is even lower now. It might be nice to extend that lint to auto-suggest similar properties so if you do accidentally use Services.dir it suggests Services.dirsvc but that would be a different issue.
