I'd recommend not, even though technically it could be considered a bug. It
is a consequence of the protective behavior that the library has with
duplicate footprint names; probably the same routines are being used to
rename as are used to add. Because nothing is destroyed, and the undesired
result is immediately apparent, it is relatively harmless, and the
workaround is obvious. One does not often start to rename a footprint and
then Okay it without making any change -- it would be more intuitive and
correct to hit Cancel or ESC anyway --, and once one has done this (hit
Okay with no change) and has seen the result, one is not likely to repeat
the behavior. I don't think it is worth cluttering up the database with it.
