I would add a placeholder for the old module name, for a period of transition. So that users of the 'renameat2' module are not forced to migrate in a hurry, but instead can migrate when it is fit for their project and schedule.
In the past, we've often avoided such placeholders, as Gnulib is a source-code module and people can upgrade at their leisure. Since the app fixes are trivial, and since there's potential for trouble if apps had both Gnulib-placeholder and new-Glibc renameat2 implementations present, I'm somewhat inclined to avoid the placeholder.
