The problem is pushing this change to everyone else, in both accounts:

1) People package Qt plugins by other means besides macdeployqt, which means 
their scripts may fail if we rename our plugins

2) User applications have plugins of their own

For #1, I think proper warning in the changelog should be enough. For #2, I'm 
not sure.

Now, question: is this worth it?
