I personally think the term "PWA" may have probably began as more of a marketing coinage to collective refer to a bunch of web tech, rather than something really well defined, and it eventually got traction elsewhere in the community. Its definitely a vague, umbrella term. But maybe its fine being a "living definition"? :P As a community, we're still trying to make sense of it - add to it, modify what it means... At this point, IMO it's more of a paradigm or concept than any tech, but you could argue that the concepts are nothing new; rather articulated in a new (and hopefully better?) way to suit the current state of the ever evolving web :)
