Hi,

The dedupe rules as at best confusing and at worst misunderstood.

1) Instead of fuzzy & strict (that doesn't mean anything to at least me) and that doesn't has any use beside when it's default, could we merge the default and level fields, to have "default rule for front office, default rule for back office, other"

2) Can we modify the fuzzy individual rule on 4.2 with Parvez improvements ? It was email only because of the event registration if I recall the genesis, should we switch to something stricter email & (first||last)?

3)  and change the default name to be a bit more descriptive (eg email vs fuzzy default individual?)

Or  am I the only one confused?
