I read your RFC, I would like to not change names of files or features if
possible, and to maintain compatibility with old strings if reasonable.
e.g. why renaming 'live-{rw,sn}' to 'full-{ov,sn}' ?
Probably is a good name by itself, I do not mean that; but why a persistence
user should need to change their scripts for this reason?
If the urge of changing the name is so compelling, it would be better to ADD a
new name and maintain compatibility with old names in the code.
There is nothing that could annoy a developer/sysadmin more than a string
rename in a new release without a real good reason.
Other than that it is a nice RFC, thanks for it, I'll study a bit more to see
If there are other issues.
