Renaming things means moving module paths. That breaks persistent objects and third party imports. It effectively penalises those who used this package (and and thus helped make it stable enough for the core) already and forks the original code base in case people already depend on it and thus need to continue to develop it. We are doing plenty of designed-for-the-core packages in the plone.* namespace, and honestly I don't think we need to be so vain that we can't use packages not in our namespace. I think it's a very nice, positive statement that we don't, in fact.
