We got back to definitions because people are confused. No definition has 'stuck', and with differing expectations for the same word, communication becomes difficult.
I did purposely exclude end user applications, because those have been around for a decade - that's what SaaS is. Cloud is something different, or why have a new word?
Your last paragraph is dead-on for me, I'm a fan of "stuff IT can use to extend reach and must deal with", but the definition I offered is one that is more generically suited to what the market thinks.
