While I do not necessarily agree with this conclusion (we've already
released it labelled as experimental; can't we freely take it
away?), that may be of lessor impact. I like it better.
If it involves renaming and swapping, however, we may be talking
about a change that we cannot deliver with confidence in less than a
week before -rc1, which sounds, eh, suboptimal.
FWIW, here is how the removal of compaction without renaming looks
like.

These are to help debugging and tuning experimental heuristics
(which are off by default) that shift diff hunk boundaries to
make patches easier to read.
