It was renamed sometime early in the 2.x series -- I don't recall when
exactly, but it was from a major set of reports rewriting that happened
around that time to make it more "accounting compliant". Part of that
rewrite was renaming the old 1.x P&L to Income Statement. Of course
this confused many users, to this day, so sometime in the 2.4.x series I
re-added the P&L as an alternate name to the Income Statement. It's
exactly the same report, just a different name.
