i guess it is ok if you do it gradually, as in.. add support for *game*, while keeping support for *mod*, and if you stick to the stuff visible to players.
so renaming each variable in spring source and tags with "mod" in its name would surely not be a good idea.

adding support for /game and GameInfo.lua for example, then recommending use of that to the modders, lobby devs and archive mover should be ok. though.. we would face problems with people not finding archives, cause they only look in one of the two places.
not sure if it is worth the trouble. ;-)

if we've an other breaker for mods, then we could rename the lua-files + the paths...

as you already said, renaming every variable is useless... only rename it, where the users get in touch with it. (mostly ui-stuff)
