To be fair, inertia itself is a strong reason....

I wouldn't mind renaming the man pages, though I'd get rid of the "new" prefixes while we're at it. However, I worry that other downstream users would be adversely affected. Perhaps others could chime in.

I don't mind the idea, but we (FreeBSD) would have to rework some of our tooling. I suspect other non-Linux distributions are similarly affected.

Thinking out loud: would it make sense to rename the files in the Git repository, but keep the tarballs flat? I suspect most downstreams consume the tarballs rather than the Git repository.
