Renaming a remote is 'rename', but removing is 'rm'

A fella on IRC was confused by $subject. And it did bother me sometimes as well. If you don't use `git remote` often, it is confusing that the commands are named inconsistently.
If I know that there is `git remote rm` then I kindof expect `git remote mv` to exist. Because I am used to rm/mv and git rm/git mv as the standard unix commands for renaming and removing something. On the other hand, if I know that there is `git remote rename`, with the verb fully written out, I expect `git remote delete/remove` to exist (or something similar, with the verb fully written out).
Would there be any desire to make the subcommands more consistent in that regard?
