If you want to "maximize backward compatibility", why rename anything?

Why not just use nlinum functions wherever you want, in place of linum
functions?  Why gratuitously change user code at the same time?

(To be clear, I don't knowingly use either, and I have no code that
does.  My question has nothing to do with my personal use of Emacs.)
