I think this approach is offensive to the community. The Emacs ecosystem
is not limited to code that GNU distributes. You better have a good
reason to take over the name of an established package.

Making third-party developers unhappy is not a very good way to make
users happy.
That said, I don't feel that `web' is a particularly good name for a
browser package. It's too generic and bland - if I was looking for such
package, I probably would search for `browser' or `internet', not `web'.
And making `browse-url' default to `eww-browse-url' doesn't require
changing the name of the latter.
