By renaming functions and variables without any kind of deprecation
procedure (cf. `make-obsolete' and friends), you'd leave users with
customisation and third-party libraries stopping working, with no clue
about what happened. I don't think GNU Emacs maintainer standards have
sunk that low (certainly not for hooks and other identifiers of
immediate interest to all users).

I think this caveat applies to some of your other recent patches as
well, I haven't been following them closely.
