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.
