I guess you're asking others.  If you're also
asking me then my answer is in the bug report.
To be specific:

1. Yes, rename `x-max-tooltip-size' as you suggest.
2. Don't make `x-show-tip' internal or tell users
   it's internal.
3. Don't point users of `x-show-tip' to
   `tooltip-show'.  That's not at all the same
   thing.  Just rehabilitate `x-show-tip'.
4. If you want to rename all of the `x-*' stuff
   to remove that prefix, fine by me (assuming
   `x-*' aliases for backward compatibility).
