that's not true. it happens more often that the content of a set got move to a different set (e.g. if a more recent version becomes parent, then the former parent gets a new name and the new file inherits the parent name)

a lot of name changes have happened when Aaron removed the 8.3 limitation for clone sets: it's easier to remember that the US version of "gamename" is "gamenameu" than the formerly used "gamenamu", "gamenmeu", "gamnamu" or "gmenameu" (the latter were necessary to stay in the 8 chars limit, of course)

and a few more renaming still happen from time to time, but I would not say 'all the time' as you did
