annoying? who complains? I suspect a negligible number of people.

changing protocol would be a huge mistake due to its current widespread
use and I can envisage many many many complaints of "it stopped working"
etc,  lets face it, most people don't read changelogs in detail, if at
all, and almost all are used in automated startups so start-up warnings
are not really much use.

if you absolutely must change the binary name, then C would be my
option, but be warned of the above caution for this as well. 

Basically, if it aint broke, why break it?
