I've rejected this patch (2/3) and the following one (3/3). Indeed,
those renames are not really necessary, and renaming options causes
unnecessary breakage of existing configurations. So the benefit of the
rename is too small compared to the breakage for users. I know it's
annoying, I would also prefer to have a more consistent option naming,
but some amount of backward compatibility is more important.
Thanks,
Thomas
