It takes like 10 minutes to rename a service, less if you have better infrastructure automation and don't have to delete the deployment manually.

- twic 4y agoWhen you split out part of a service, every previous reference to that service is now potentially wrong, because it may refer to the part of the service which have been split out. So explicitly breaking them is possibly more useful than preserving them. The crucial thing is to maintain a history of the names - precisely, a phylogeny of services.
