I commented on it earlier - you can not control the user community and
how they use the software on their machines. Just because the software
is only installed automatically with a specific configuration does not
mean that that configuration is the only configuration in use.
Changing the name of *any* binary has the potential for creating
unintended consequences for the end users.
