  If we loosen the naming requirement, I think a good convention would be to have new files use the *modern* convention and for existing code/files to generally stick to the old convention.
  
  That being said, if someone were to introduce a new function into an existing file and wanted to use the modern names, I wouldn't mind.
  
  I would not like to see global, API breaking rewrites for the sake of rewrites. If we wanted to do a global search and replace on variables inside functions, I'd be OK with that (that won't break API compat). But I'm in no rush to do it.
  
  I would also not like to see patches introducing mixed naming conventions within functions. I think we should try to keep things consistent at definitely the function level and possibly the file level.
