I don't think so.

But since we had aliases to support users, I wasn't going to drop them
without at least sending a patch upstream to see if they cared about
such things.

(and there are many modules which do have the char-major aliases, so at
least someone is trying to put them in).

As noted in the cover, feel free to drop these - I can use your reply
when a user complains <g>
