wrong

* you get that regression bugs anyways
* the only thing what you are doing is spread confusion

in case of "set their expectations right"

* why was GNOME3 not renamed
* why was KDE4 not renamed
* why was Apache 2.4 not renamed

the only expectation a user has is that behavior don't change
and features / options are not removed and called "improvement"
