Just because someone read policy or whatever it was in a way that
requires this King Solomonesque approach to this sort of conflict, does
not actually mean that it makes sense to me, or I hope, to most of us.
It's certianly not the fait accompli you make it out to be.

There is a transition plan and patch for the (ham radio) node in
#614907. Nobody has been able to demonstate any appreciable problems
with renaming it. Indeed, noone has demonstrated any likely reason
for its "node" command to be run directly.
