Best of luck. You know they've been asked twice before (once for Fedora, once for Debian), right? I think an easier sell would be: - just adding a command upstream, not renaming. That way, existing users are not heavily impacted. Perhaps there could be a ./configure option to disable the "node" command for distros like Fedora (and Debian?) that want that. If the reasons for renaming are as strong as I think they are, users would migrate to the new name without needing upstream to deprecate the old one right away. - someone other than Ryan doing the actual work. There's a patch to start with at <http://bugs.debian.org/650343#103>. I imagine the proposed Fedora package could also be helpful to someone working on this.
