Current units dont need replacing. Kilo means 1000 in terms of 10^3 and 1024 in terms of 2^10.
Not hard to understand and there is no reason to need a new word. When I did the CCNA, Cisco uses the kilo not kibbles for 1024. The standard is not going to change when it is unnecessary because someone wants to invent new words way late in the game. -- ...brought to you by Carl's Jr.

Then why are hard drives measured in 10^3. Those are binary devices, but they use 1GB = 1000000000, not 1073741824. Then when talking about memory we switch back to 2^10.
It's a mess. You can't assume 2^10 when dealing with computers because not even then does everyone follow the convention. -- less talk, more music
