In order to avoid running out of characters after a few years of consistent usage.
The renames happens when the WAL and segment writer initialises respectively. The segment writer writes a marker after a successful upgrade in order to avoid listing files in all server directories every time. The WAL always checks the current set of wal files which should be ok given there is rarely more than one.
