Removal of text reference to "Cognos" within the URL required for local client installation for IBM Cloud

The following URL is an example illustration, https://customer112.controller.ibmcloud.com/ibmcognos/controllerserver.  Rather than this URL referencing "IBMcognos", could the inclusion of "cognos" please be removed?  When running the client.bat file to install the local client, this URL with reference to "cognos" and name branding that is no longer associated with IBM Controller is always currently needing to shared.
