Sure, but what options do we have? I'm strongly against reverting as Figure is
the standard term used in scientific publications. Adding some code to check
what caption has been used in the current document? Difficult since you
intentionally can have both Illustration and Figure. So I vote for the third
door with the zonk. Meaning you have to be careful and change the caption in
non-standard documents. 

Besides I wonder why you accepted Illustration as caption. Wouldn't it make
more sense to switch those labels to Figure?
