I suppose the term "glideslope" will persist in the future as a =
generic term.
Even the Pilot/Controller Glossary with the AIM doesn't restrict it =
to ILS.
It mentions the ILS glideslope as just one example of "vertical =
guidance
for aircraft during approach and landing".

The term used by FAA TERPs developers for Baro VNAV, LPV, and GLS, is =
"glidepath."

My Pilot/Controller Glossary says "GLIDEPATH - (See GLIDESLOPE.)"
That probably means "Use either word" for now.
Time will tell if one term wins out over the other.

Interestingly, the P/CG shows a definition for "GLIDEPATH [ICAO]".
Maybe a Glidepath is a *metric* Glideslope. :-)
