What would be interesting, I think you were suggesting this, is a
separate doc chapter that had a list of all the renames, what version
they were renamed in, and a link from their to the new name in the docs.
This could be easily created by reading the old release notes. Anyone
looking for old names would automatically be sent to that page in the
docs. This would give us a definitive list, and make the list out of
the main flow of the docs.
