Replace linux-raspberrypi with core/linux-rpi-legacy?

When I ran 'pacman -Syu' today on an rpi3 Arch-Linux installation, the following question was asked: Replace linux-raspberrypi with core/linux-rpi-legacy? [Y/n] Is this a simple renaming or is this an important change impacting the system's future?

Although the other answer was first, here's the relevant information from the forum:

Raspberry Pi kernel rename coming soon

Post by graysky » Sun Nov 28, 2021 12:20 pm

In a rebranding move, we are changing the names of the two kernel packages for the RPi series of devices to more adequately represent the intended platform.

linux-raspberrypi --> linux-rpi-legacy (RPi 1, 2, Zero, Zero W)

linux-raspberrypi4 --> linux-rpi (RPi 3, 4, 400, and Zero 2 W)

Once the new packages are built and hit your mirror, pacman should automatically handle it by asking you if you would like to replace the old package with the new one. Say Y to proceed.

The full name of the thread is "Raspberry Pi kernel rename coming soon"

The link on the forum for me is this
