Let them write A3000. I think you're all getting confused. The only Amigas with an A prefix were the A1200 and the A600. All the other classics had no such prefix in front of their number.
Let them name them what they want.

In terms of the badges that is true, however in terms of what the product was called it's not so clear.

In my opinion AX or X would be preferable; people don't usually say "AmigaOne" anyway.

AmigaOne is pretty stupid. But in keeping they should call the new machines "PointOne"
 
So it would be called AmigaOne PointOne. The different variations can be handled with a slash.
 
AmigaOne PointOne/P5020
 
When a new motherboard is created it will become a PointTwo.

A large portion of the user base referred to the OS as Workbench. It was the clearest and most visible labelling of the OS for most users.

I'd say most users referred to kickstart when they were talking about the OS. Even though kickstart really is just the bootstrap part, the rom just happens to contain a load of devices and libraries so they don't have to be included on a floppy disk (saves time loading, space on disk and ram).
 
Commodore didn't really have a name for the whole thing

Amiga Release 2
Getting Started



What is 2.0?
Version 2.0 is the result of intensive effort by Commodore to bring
the Amiga operating system to a new level of functionality.




The following section highlights differences between the 2.0 sys
tem software and that of Version 1.3. If you are familiar with 1.3,
you can use this section as a quick overview of what is new. Consult
the Using the System Software manual on how to use the new or
changed features.
In addition, certain potential problem areas related to updating a
1.3 system to a 2.0 system are discussed in the Troubleshooting
section. Please read these two sections carefully to help your 1.3 -
2.0 transition process go as smoothly as possible.


So it's system software, operating system, 2.0, 2.0 system, Amiga release 2..
