At which point _all_ clients would instantly be exposed to the rename in 
C code, and we might as well drop even having the obsolete getdate 
wrapper module; whereas by keeping getdate.h and get_date(), clients 
only have to update their gnulib-tool list and maybe a one-liner include 
change in their texinfo documentation.

I guess it's up to Jim whether the more radical rename makes sense.

Thanks for that additional cleanup.
