I do not mind that much if we change to .tcshrc from a techincal point of view. What I fear, though, is that we also will have some troubles in the transition period. Basically not so advanced users with a .cshrc based setup will start reading about .tcshrc. In the worst case, they may start using .tcshrc w/o taking their existing stuff in .cshrc - suffering!Perhaps we should continue to tell them to add it to ~/.cshrc, and then say that if ~/.tcshrc exists, add "source ~/.cshrc" to ~/.tcshrc.
Hence, if we do this, an absolutly required minimum thing is that we add a page or a FAQ item which clearly explains the difference (or lack of, except for the reading order) between the two files. It should be possible to even explain to a newbie in a few sentences what the situation is. FAQ 3.18 is not sufficient for this; rather, add a seperate FAQ entry "What is the difference between .tcshrc and .cshrc" or so, and maybe link to it from the appropriate places (like 3.18).
