Repeater role has been deprecated already. The rest of this is a duplicate. |

Description
I believe that both
routerandrepeaterroles should be renamed to indicate to new and not experienced users that they are network-wide infrastructure and should not be used .The current way of trying to stop inexperienced users from misusing
routerandrepeaterroles (a popup saying "Are you sure" with two links to documentation and a "I know what I am doing" checkbox) doesn't seem to stop newcomers from setting their rooftop nodes to it. Some points from the docs and the blog should also be added to that popup, maybe even a small infographic.client_baseis a perfect example of a role name that describes it's use due to the use of "base". To that extent, my opinion is that the other two infrastructure roles should be renamed to include a term such as "infrastructure","wide-area","strategic","tower",etc in the name.I know that the community won't really like a short name like
repeaterbeing renamed tostrategic_wide-area_infrastructure_no-repeat_pleasedonotuseforyourrooftopnodes, so a lot of thought should be put into this.Also, this could only apply to the mobile apps where inexperienced users are more likely to mess up and cause a problem. Though, this could cause many more problems down the road with the same role having 2 names.
