We do use war. It's a common package in Java. Should we rename that because it might make people uncomfortable when we say "We are going to deploy the war tomorrow"? Why can't we just accept the fact that words have multiple meanings?

I want to update the web app but war never changes.

No, because it is an abbreviation for web archive.
