# Objective > System chaining is a confusing name: it implies the ability to construct non-linear graphs, and suggests a sense of system ordering that is only incidentally true. Instead, it actually works by passing data from one system to the next, much like the pipe operator. > In the accepted [stageless RFC](https:/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/45-stageless.md), this concept is renamed to piping, and "system chaining" is used to construct groups of systems with ordering dependencies between them. Fixes bevyengine#6225. ## Changelog System chaining has been renamed to system piping to improve clarity (and free up the name for new ordering APIs). ## Migration Guide The `.chain(handler_system)` method on systems is now `.pipe(handler_system)`. The `IntoChainSystem` trait is now `IntoPipeSystem`, and the `ChainSystem` struct is now `PipeSystem`.

What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
System chaining is a confusing name: it implies the ability to construct non-linear graphs, and suggests a sense of system ordering that is only incidentally true. Instead, it actually works by passing data from one system to the next, much like the pipe operator.
In the accepted stageless RFC, this concept is renamed to piping, and "system chaining" is used to construct groups of systems with ordering dependencies between them.
What solution would you like?
Rename system chaining to system piping.
