No, I didn't say it about renaming indexes.
I tried to say that it does not make sense exactly to rename a table (view, 
functions) concurrently
(and implement the lower lock level respectively) because probably no one will 
do this on production.
Because names of that objects are used in application's configuration.
I don't remember any cases I need to do this for tables but for indexes very 
often.
Renaming indexes is safe for client's applications because their names are not 
used in texts of SQL queries.
I think it's safe for relations too because, as we know, the database server 
works with indexes by using identifiers, not names.
Moreover, I tested it.

Ok, Peter, thanks for your answer!
