I see your point.

In renamefs's defense, I note that most users most of the time are
working on their own stuff, not making any chanages to the parts of the
network that everyone relies on.  If the renamefs is running on your own
terminal or cpued to some cpu server, and your working on your own
stuff, a crash of the renamefs will not affect the other users.

Ie, do not use renamefs when you are adminning the network.
