Why not take the SO2R analogy one or more steps further:
MS was supposed to be a bunch of guys splitting up the 48 hour 
op-time of one radio (sounds very civilized to me!) However, 
technology has changed that and MS has become 3, 4 or more 
stations, one running, the rest tuning for mults. So let's create 
MS1radio, MS2radio, MS3radio, etc.
Then do the same for M-2. There's real M-2 (2 radios), M-2-3radio, 
M-2-4radios, etc.
Seems the only unscathed category is M-M.
