Well, why didn't you do that, then?  I don't understand how it could
possibly make sense to make *half of* the change.  Is the idea just to
get users accustomed to having these files move around continuously so
they won't object at some point in the future when you change the names
back to the original names?  Because if that's the case, I think you ought
to just make the entire change now.
