How do we rename BGP Communities (serious)

Seriously, is there any way to discuss in an IETF meeting the renaming of BGP communities to something more meaningful (e.g. BGP tags). Is submitting an RFC for such a topic meaningful? It's not the biggest problem on the Internet but why stuck with a bad name forever? Router vendors could just keep the existing community commands and add an alias with the same name to keep backward compatibility.
