Not really. My comment was (or at least, intended to be, but my English perhaps got in the middle) that I thought that using NEWNAME was not the result of copy&paste, but a deliberate decision. But I didn't really express any preference on my own. > So now you know my views on this, and can make up your mind. I'm partial to LINKNAME.

Fixing it to LINKNAME is just adjusting the docstring and one info file, so it shouldn't be a problem. I thought documentation fixes and typos are allowed during the pretest? Or do you really prefer even that change to go to the master?
