i have a counter argument for too much renaming: the closer the two
codebases are to each other, the easier to pull over patches, or
ultimately to merge the two projects.

people should rarely want to load two versions of the same
project/functionality into the same image, and IMO the benefits of
being able to cherry-pick patches both direction is bigger than the
loss of the ability to load both projects into the same image/emacs.

please note that i don't argue against renaming the .asd file (small
change), but i do argue against renamings that touche on every second
line of the code.

but it won't be my headache, just throwing around my two cents.

“Here's a way to tell scientific intelligence from legal intelligence.
Both may start from the idea that something cannot be done and think
up arguments to explain why. However, it is possible that the
scientist may discover a flaw in the argument that leads him to change
his mind and discover a way to do it. He will be pleased. The legal
thinker will merely try to patch the flaw in the argument, because
once he has chosen a side, all his intelligence is devoted to finding
arguments for that side.”
