So I was warned by Motzarella; but I did not understand the advice
about *how* careful. It seemed I would have to resubscribe to all my
groups, and that was a long agony the first time. So I just changed
the two references to the old name in my files. The result was that
when I first logged in I found all the groups were empty; but I could
live with that. Now everything is fine.
