We try not to rename things willy-nilly but nearly every file in the project has been renamed at least once and has moved places in the directory structure at least twice. If we find a name that is genuinely better, we should try not to be held back by inertia alone. That is the WebKit Way as I understand it.

One thing to mention is that renaming this file will surely break tools -- some even in the WebKit base. So far, I can't see any reason beyond minor esthetics to rename this. Wouldn't we be better off spending our cycles making the file smaller? :)
