"old" should be removed from part name.
(Each part at some point in time will become "old".)

Think the old is appropriate here. Other bushes are variants of each other but this represents an old, depreciated 'standard'.

I know, but we usually do not add "old" to titles, though.
The reason is that every part potentially can become "old",
when something new comes out which replaces it.
We describe what the part is and does, and that's it.
Its age is not part of its function.

The part fits with the existing library Old Type 2. Hold is, IMO, inappropriate unless you are willing to change both the existing file and this one with a new standard. Otherwise it is just reducing approved parts for your whims.

I am with Steffen here. If we have another part in the library with 'old' then we should also change that parts description.
