Yes, but…

pitti wants to drop this; however, this is where we usually
do the manual renaming when needed.

By all means, do your new thing, but don’t break things for
the people who wish to continue using persistent-net-generator
and for whom it works and who don’t have any problems with
the problems it has you outlined a few weeks ago.

(Heh. I sound like I’m repeating myself every year now…)

tl;dr: Just keep persistent-net-generator, even discourage
people from using it who don’t know what they’re doing,
but don’t remove it.

Thanks,
