If this were before v1.0.0, it might have made some sense, but not at this moment. So the answer to "should?" (or "could?") is a firm "no", which is always different from the answer to "wouldn't it have been nicer if they were named differently?"

Or just after a large version bump (say 1.8.0), perhaps.
