 * Jamie sent a merge request to rename my plugin.
    [https://github.com/SimonWaters/surevine_tls_headers/pull/1](https://github.com/SimonWaters/surevine_tls_headers/pull/1)
 * Someone has used the same name, for a plugin with largely overlapping functionality.
 * I assume this this is only the name in the “readme.txt” that it will only change
   that and existing installations will pick up the update via URL?
 * Anything else to be aware of with this change?
 * Is there any convention to reduce scope for confusion here?
