I've tried to remove this in the past and was informed that it exists only for third parties and we have no way of checking if they still use it. There's also an optimization for it in Foundation, which we should rename at the same time. I think we should do that instead of checking both filenames, which will significantly adversely affect startup time of many things.

I’m the person who added this in the first place. But I don’t know anything about this optimization in Foundation. I’ll leave this part out of the patch based on the FUD.

I was wrong about the optimization in Foundation. That is just an optimization for the instantiation of an NSString, not in reading the file. That's not important to change at the same time as this.
I think it’s fine to either remove the feature entirely, or change the name now, or add support for both names now to lay the ground work for removing the old name later. But I suggest we *not* use this bug to track any of those changes. This one should be left as is.
I think we should remove it in a separate patch, probably after the next branch.
