Please consider renaming the term "Quirk" to "ZHA Device Handler" as listed under Device info in ZHA integration GUI/UI frontend today.
Alternativly rename it from "Quirk" to just "Device Handler" in ZHA GUI/UI frontend if feel that ZHA is superfluous when in that integration?
I think "ZHA Device Handlers" or just "Device Handlers" as terminology might be a little more self-explanatory for ZHA users than "quirks"?
I believe that the sentence/term "Device Handler" should also be much better for localization if easier to translate than "quirk" as a word?
Though using "ZHA Device Handlers" in the GUI could maybe lead to that term being used by more ZHA users for community knowledge.
Quirks as terminology can (and will) of course still continue to be used terminology internally in core and for development of quirks.

FYI, "device handler" and "custom device handler" terminology is also used by Samsung SmartThings (classic):

Zigbee2MQTT and IoBroker on the other hand instead use "Converter" as terminology for "Zigbee-Herdsman Converters":

Another term that could probably be equally valid to use would be "ZHA Device Translator" as a quirk translates quirks.
