Personally, I was never a big fan of the Bourbaki convention of including the Hausdorff axiom into compactness. I would be happy if we dropped the "quasi", but perhaps it would lead to too much confusion at this point in time. On the other hand, schemes were once called preschemes, so algebraic geometers are capable of change.
