see the message from Marc, copied below.

yes, my main concern is for users, I remember it was a small hell when I renamed features in the past, people installed the new features over the old ones, and everything was a mess, the usual solution was to scrap the Eclipse and install a fresh one. I would avoid it as much as possible.

We have done this in the past a few times in Trace Compass project when things got renamed and moved between projects. Let me know if that’s something that would be useful for embed-cdt in a rename effort that would be transparent to users.
do you understand how this works?
