Have you considered (and perhaps rejected) supporting both old
and new through the use of some sort of short-name alias?  Sort
of like the way Windows continues to support short names.  Old
applications still work, they just got names that weren't all
that user friendly.

This is not a request, I am just asking whether the option has
been considered as a way of maintaining backward compatibility.
