Rename group name from Enablement::Pods to Data Stores::Tenant Scale
As part of the recent reorganization, Group::Organization was merged with Group::Pods. The term Pods conflicts with Kubernetes Pods and is not descriptive enough of the common goal of the team, which is to find a horizontal scaling solution. Thoughts on the exact reasoning for selecting Cells as a team name are summarised here and here.
TL;DR:
- Group name becomes
Cells(#g_cells) which is coherent with current group name ofPods: plural, we are meant to deliver many Cells, each Cell having many Organizations - Group name is after a key feature that we are meant to deliver
- Categories that the team owns are then Category:Organization and Category:Cell
