If my reading of the current commit guideline is correct, a case
of renaming already released application doesn't fall into the
"obvious" fix because some people can possibly object to breaking
backward compatibility.

4. The more intrusive your changes are the higher is the level
of required prior approval.
- "Obvious" fixes can be committed without any prior
discussion or review. (The definition of "obvious" in the
GCC Project is: "could not possibly cause anyone to
object." We adopt this definition here)
- All other (i. e. "non-obvious") fixes *should* have a
review.
- Implementing (significant) new features requires a prior
discussion on an appropriate technical mailing list.
- Changing existing interfaces in libraries or in the kernel
requires prior approval by Core.
