i suspect you'd be surprised how many places will need to be touched until the
whole infra is back on track after such a rename...
e.g. consider just the "bootstrapping" of this rename:
if you simply rename the branch, then people won't be able to guix pull after
the rename.
if you keep two branches, then for how long until no users are left who will
attempt to guix pull using an unprepared guix binary?
or should we add code to guix preemptively that can deal with both the pre and
post rename environment? then have a grace period before the rename? for how
long?
etc, etc...
guix is deeply intertwined with git.
point is: it's not just a simple rename.
