The back-patching problem could be addressed by back-patching the
renaming. If it's purely a mechanical thing, there should be minimal risk
no? I would claim that messed-up back-patches would have non-negligible
risk too, so you can't say that not back-patching is clearly safer.
Now, whether the renaming actually makes things any clearer is something
I reserve judgment on.
