Because of historical reasons, Bambi is always calling the parent of all families "mean". Given the flexibility we have now, e.g. distributional models for arbitrary likelihoods, I think it does not make sense to keep using "mean", and actually it can lead to confusion.
I think we can simply use the name of the parameter. For Normal likelihoods, it will be mu, for Bernoulli and Binomial it will be p, etc. etc.

There's more. What if we stop pre-pending the LHS of the formula to the name of the parameter? Right now it leads to something like p(y, n)_mean. If we use the name of the parameter it will be p(y, n)_p. What if we drop whatever we have on the RHS and start using parameter names? Simply mu, sigma, p, alpha, etc. etc.
