Changed by who? this is a community, remember. The font naming scheme,
and the equally important TDS, were the work of various ad hoc working
groups in the early/mid 90s. The people who did the work then (Karl
Berry, for instance, or me) are no longer available. Nothing will
change without a very dedicated group of people taking up the
challenge.
There *is* no group at the head of TeX world whom you can ask to
change things......
