I think this doc should be made to emphasize that you *really really*
should not ever do this unless you are pretty sure your plugin has no users
under its existing name.

Changing the `name` (display name) is fine at any time. Changing the
`groupId` will break any Maven dependencies from other plugins, which may
or may not be an issue. But changing the `artifactId` means changing the
identifier by which the Jenkins plugin manager differentiates this plugin
from others, and will cause mayhem for users who have already installed it
under the old name.
