It will require a lot of documentation updates (wiki, handbook etc) so I
wonder if you don't need symlinks for the grub2* names for a while even
so to ensure compatibility for a deprecation period. New users aren't
expected to have seen all the news items, so that alone isn't enough
until the documentation is updated, and docs can't be updated until the
change has happened itself as itself would be a mismatch.

What is the expected gain from such a change?
