Then we have parts 43712 and 43713, which are both currently on the tracker.
43712 uses the 4x6 naming scheme, and 43713 uses the 6x4 naming scheme.  Since
they are complementary parts, their names really need to match.  So which
naming scheme is correct?

Since the dimensions matter with wedges -- a 3x4 wedge is going to be a
different shape from a 4x3 wedge -- the order of dimensions in wedge names
should be fixed by axis, not given in "smaller x larger" order.  For slope
bricks, the dimensions are always Z x X.  Wedges should follow the precedent of
slopes.
