I don't understand at all why it is so important to change the name of
these files nor the directory they live in.

What bonafide benefit will users receive if we do this?

The only clear part is the downside, which is that it is going to make
it painful to browse source history and backport bug fixes.

Please, let's not do this.

Thanks.
