I wouldn't do that. Back up your complete config (and you can go back to
it). Use a decent text editor on your PC. Manually check every(!)
replacement, and be careful to avoid false matches (as pointed out
already) and those few places where the old interface name should remain
(I had some). Then diff the configs, and restore the new one. Painful,
but there's no faster way. On the positive, the config is XML and not
some proprietary effluent.
