Is the opportunity to clean up module names compelling enough, vs. (the
wish for) minimized trouble with scripts which refer to module names?

How big is the trouble actually?

Exactly. In Fedora we've just added a fw-sbp2 case to mkinitrd, it's only a couple of lines of extra shell code:

    elif [ "$modName" = "fw-sbp2" ]; then
        findmodule fw-core
        findmodule fw-ohci
        modName="fw-sbp2"

and that's the extent of the changes. The sbp2 case for the old drivers is still in there and in the end mkinitrd works with either stack.
