Yes, you are right. But as I mentioned - while performing such a
global rename, we should use the opportunity and do it right this
time.

But if we change the names anyway, we could correct the other mistake
as well, right?

In any case: please split this into two patches: one doing the rename
only, and another one adding the new functionality.

I understand this. On the other hand, there might  be  a  new  supply
problem in N days/weeks/months from now, and we definitely don't want
to  have  an  ever  growing number of incompatible configurations and
binary images if it can be avoided (and I'm sure it can be avoided).

Let's try and find a solution that works with only one binary image,
without additional target names and #ifdef's. 

Best regards,
