Proposal: Refrain from using "DeadView", endorse an alternative

Yeah, to me, this is the crux of the matter, not the terminology.

I think Hologram (https://hologram.page/) is going in the right direction with the concept of “pages” which feels a bit more nicely connected than Phoenix/ LiveView today. At the same time, I wonder if both maintainers had the chance to cooperate at some point instead of splitting efforts because both have pretty good ideas.

PS.: Not to completely sidetrack this discussion but I have this recurring thought about Chris sunsetting Phoenix to focus completely on LiveView as the “engine” that powers client and server live interactions. Maybe that would leave room for some innovation.
