We can't have a policy that badly chosen file names are set in stone
and can never be changed.  Haven't any files' names been changed since
we started using Git?  How was that done?

gnus-cloud.el is fairly new, so it hasn't got a years-long history
entwined with other files.  We will not delete its history, but if
that history gets a little less convenient to access, it won't be
a big deal.
