Exactly. For me Skip and HoleSize have clear meaning. So your suggestion
is to have: SetSkip and GetSkip? Well, I don't like it that much but if
that's the only thing that should prevent this from merging ...

Also, as I've said earlier, I'm gonna send v2 without any name change
for the time being. As you've correctly noticed, a lot of functions, RPC
calls, and other stuff have their name derived from current naming.
Therefore changing that would be a non-trivial amount of work and
therefore I'd like to do it just once. After we have a clear agreement
on the naming.

Also, now that we seem to be using Reviewed-by tags, should I include
those in my commit messages for v2? I mean, you've reviewed patches
00-30. And you'll definitely deserve the tag. But what I'm asking is if
I should put it there already for v2 or before pushing the patches.

To extend my thinking further, review is not the same as ACK. So
Reviewed-by should include all the reviewers even though just one of
them gave ACK? Or if a patch is respin in version X, should it include
all the past reviewers? So many questions and not many answers.
