Hmm, the philosophy would also say “don’t remove anything that wasn’t
deprecated in the previous major series and that doesn’t *strictly* need
to be removed”.
IOW, I’m in favor of keeping #:renamer in 2.0.
(Actually I didn’t know about #:prefix. It’s undocumented, but dates
back to 2003 AFAICS. #:renamer is undocumented too, but at least
there’s one example in the manual. ;-))

Not me.
