I was considering to do the same a couple of days ago when I fixed the docs for it. If/when you do this please don't forgot to update the docs too.

However why bumping the version?  It would be just a rename while retaining the old name.

If you must bump it it should rather be a bump it to 5.x. This forest of versions is just confusion without no purpose.

Yes this can be done. It's just a matter of testing for both strings in the plug-ins type registrations.
