Oh wow, Im a pilot myself and I missed this change (havent flown in almost 10 years). I find the new terminology a bit odd - line up and wait seems ambiguous since, when youre in the takeoff queue, arent you already lined up (in the sense of in a queue, not lined up with the runway) and waiting? And both position and hold are standard ATC terms, so terms like position and hold and hold position shouldnt be confusing, IMHO. But they didnt consult me.
