Let me try a different question. What is the ultimate intent here?

Will babeltrace and babeltrace2 coexist in the future or do you plan to
rename babeltrace2 -> babeltrace at some point?

There are some things where the namespaces are quite specific (python
vs python3, gtk(+) 2/3/4, qt) but they're fairly few and far between.

If babeltrace2 will replace babeltrace and become babeltrace, we
probably want to keep PN as babeltrace. If it will be known as
babeltrace2 always, we probably change PN.

Cheers,

Richard
