It causes a useless and confusing divergence between the module names used
to check out things and the names that appear in various messages, files,
and the online views.  Certainly it'd be a bad idea to do this now, but
please do it after 7.3 is released.  Just because removing a silliness
causes a brief inconvenience is no reason to hang on to a silliness.

The issues I point out would continue to exist.
