This patch does break cleanly into three patches, one for the rename
and two for the simple updates.

You and Maxim should discuss this, whether in general it is preferred
to make one commit per package or to combine commits to prevent
breakage in between. The latter does better allow users to
time-machine anywhere in the history but can require very large
commits and that contributors track down and apply fixes on branches
at the point of the breaking change.
