I appreciate your reply very much! And sure it's not wise to rename things 
every time someone asks for it, even when it's a lot of people. But same 
applies to the original renaming commit, doesnt it?

I would suggest that leaving names the way they have been since a long time 
is the best option. I.e. revert the changes made, give the community a 
little time to think about it, and then incorporate the change most people 
can agree on.
Saying the change has been made and now it's too late defies the very 
concept of version control. Reminder: we are using git. It can never be 
"too late" :)
