Description
[SLIP-44](https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md#registered-coin-types) correctly lists **Ether** as the name of the coin of the **Ethereum network**.
Since [v2.0.0](https://github.com/MetaMask/slip44/releases/tag/v2.0.0) this library [renames **Ether** to **Ethereum**](https://github.com/MetaMask/slip44/blob/c0a5f7533aacce13fa0c9eec98f785eddea539d5/src/build.js#L31) in the coin name list.
This is probably the main reason MetaMask uses this library instead of [bip44-constants](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip44-constants).
What's the reason for this modification? Is it to serve MetaMask? If so, why MetaMask needs this change in the first place?
