OTOH that could also be an advantage. For at least a year or so after they change the name, all info you can find about how to do something with it when you search with the new name is likely to be current. Instead of 7 year old guides that are completely out of date and don’t work with current versions.

To see it as an advantage, you have to be sure that your community is active enough to write complete documentation with the new name.

It looks pretty bad when you look for documentation and people have to tell you to search for documentation with a different project name, because the name was changed.

For instance, whenever you want to do something with MapLibre, you have to think whether you should look at the Mapbox documentation or not. Many times it's confusing. But it is explained by the fact that there was an actual need for a fork, and hence a new name.
