New comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository

Comment:
Aah, I'm late, but still.
Renaming package break build of out-of tree packages; invalidates `hold`, `repolock`, `ignores` and similar custom settings.
If package was installed manually, transitional package is required, because `replaces=` causes package to be [uninstalled](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/11816#issuecomment-493770733), and there is no safe enough period after which transitional package could be removed without breaking [otherwise working updates](https://www.michaelwashere.net/post/2017-09-24-upgrading-the-ancient/).
If gain is purely aestethic, I would like to ask to not rename.
You could point me merging similar renames. Please do not repeat my mistakes.
