Here's an argument in favor of renaming:

These commands use the term 'update'. But package-menu-mark-upgrades, 
which has been in package.el for years, uses the term 'upgrade' in its 
name and its docstring ("all upgradable packages", etc). There are a few 
auxiliary functions which also use that term, but this is the 
public-facing one.

So now we have divergent terminology. Which implies that there is some 
difference between "upgrading" and "updating" in package.el, while there 
is none.
