I propose we switch from saying preprint / published paper to saying publish / reprint.

I'm all for the early sharing of research, but the only meaningful definition of 'preprint' is in the negative -- i.e., an article that hasn't been formally peer reviewed/published. The problem is this definition doesn't describe any evaluative process the work has undergone to get to that stage.

But many journals will continue to actually print them so I guess it makes sense. 😉
