Incidentally, RedHat has long had rename from util-linux as /usr/bin/rename. So that's yet another reason to use an Alternative: so people with heterogeneous farms can expect the same binary path to behave the same way regardless of which system they're logged into. This should be an administrator decision. This Alternative was added in 2007 with bug 439647 and I can't fathom the reason it was removed 14 years later because someone doesn't like its CLI. After all that's the point of Alternatives.
