That will break scripts that do:

x=$(nodejs somescript)

Or even ./somescript when that has a #!/usr/bin/env nodejs shebang.

Again, “no, period”.

Do not drop it before *after* the next release, so people have,
at the very least, one full release of time to switch their
scripts in a way that works with both the old and new names
*first*, gradually.
