The "Renamed To" was bothering me (like some other posters mentioned), and then it hit me why:

Forks of large projects happen when something bad is going with the source (why fork something huge when things are going ok?), and marks the source as poisoned.

Renamed means... It just changed name, everything is already, nothing to see here...

Sure there is the mindshare on the name but people in IT for long knows what means when a fork of this size means.
