I have a pretty hard time believing that we're going to actually manage
to pull this off, and the argument against larger patches going in
during the July commitfest was largely shot down during the dev meeting
anyway.

Let's keep the tech side of this simple and just do the rename as
suggested and then we can encourage committers to review the
smaller/older patches by providing information about the objective size
and age of them, which will likely lead to the same result without all
the fuss over what patch should be in what commitfest.

Thanks!
