The reason for the name change and the Parma change is that String.prototype.padStart is being added in the next ECMAScript release, and lodash was changed to be compatible with the newly built-in version (so it's a polyfill).

An easy solution would be to have both padStart and padLeft, with a note in tbe changelog saying padLeft is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
