+1 to rename it, good catch, that issue also was in my mind (somewhere).

The tooltip explains: "Clear all caches, including frontend caches, and
extension-specific caches. Compile-time caches / system caches that are
needed for TYPO3 to run are not touched."

Difficult to put that in one or two words. Because it includes the
"frontend caches" but also some extension caches. Maybe we could just
the use this info for the label?

* Flush frontend and extension caches

Somehow it should be implied that "Frontend" is also included in the
second one, else you confuse people which think they always need to
clear "frontend" and then the "general" caches one after the other.

Cheers,
Ernesto
