Yes and I still agree with it. I was leaving it how it currently is, *_display_config == new API and
*_display_configuration == old API. With the idea that once we get these functions in we then can deprecate the old set of functions then get a branch to rename them all to *_display_configuration.

Though I could still just move to display_configuration vs waiting, figured it would be more uniformed to have a branch that renames everything.
