Comment:

 is_term() was not a conditional statement. It was a check to see whether a
 term existed. Thus, it was renamed to term_exists().

 The same goes for is_post_type() and is_taxonomy(). They were not
 conditionals, and were renamed post_type_exists() and taxonomy_exists().

 For conditional statements, you'll want `is_singular( $post_type )` and
 `is_tax( $taxonomy, $term = optional )`.
