This is why I always rename all the variables in the project on each PR.

I know this is a joke, but it you did that I would reject the pr with the reason of too many things at once. Reopen separate PR to refactor variable names. I actually constaly get people doing this and it's dangerous exactly for the reason you're joking about. Makes it easier for errors to slip in.

This will lead to change fatigue. People will rather not cleanup as they go anymore and just get the work done, with worse and worse code quality as a result.

I prefer that than to sneak defects in huge PRs.
