I'd rather change ts-mode to typescript-mode or typescript-ts-mode. But we can discuss names, of course :-)

Even better would be some construct we've discussed many times the last months: not letting a specific implementation "own" a major mode name. So c-mode could be powered by cc mode implementation _or_ treesit.el implementation, but not a merged thing.

To me the natural progression would be to keep name as-is, then later when we have such a construct just delete the *-ts-modes.

For Emacs 30 or 31.
