Here’s what I’m thinking at this point. I’m planning on reinstating the scene where Anakin ignites his saber on the roomful of children, but not to reinstate any subsequent mention of younglings. We see it happen, so that it can be referenced in future films, but we don’t see Obi-Wan telling Padme about it. Younglings can continue to be ignored as a term, and Padme’s character still is not made to rationalize Anakin murdering children.
So, my edits will continue to not explicitly state that Jedi are harvested as infants. The most specific information we get is from Qui-Gon saying that they are ‘identified early’. You can read as little or as much into it as you want, and it’ll be compatible with whatever future storytellers in the franchise want to do.
