Indeed, those renames are not really necessary, and renaming options causes unnecessary breakage of existing configurations. So the benefit of the rename is too small compared to the breakage for users. I know it's annoying, I would also prefer to have a more consistent option naming, but some amount of backward compatibility is more important.
