It appears stupid and confusing to me as well.

Reference to the ports seems most descriptive and least confusing.

On modern datasheets, for example the Nexus 9300 -EX and -FX, it says:
NXA-FAN-30CFM-F - Nexus Single Fan, 30CFM, port side exhaust airflow
NXA-FAN-30CFM-B - Nexus Single Fan, 30CFM, port side intake airflow

This is better language than back-to-front; "But which side is the front?"
