In other words, all that it means is "no blocking".

While that's a valuable concept, why invent a [confusing] new name for 
it? Most discussions of NN that I've seen embrace the concept that one 
kind of content would merely be given priority over another (so 
disdavantaged traffic is delivered slower, rather than delivered never).

The way the end-user perceives such a disadvantage is indistingushable 
from throttled bandwidth.
