In creating a new unit, I can understand this but renaming one that has been
around for longer than any of us have been alive is simply change for the
sake of change. If they wanted to honor Hertz, they should have used his
name for a new unit or law, not rename a preexisting one. Otherwise, it's
like changing a street name to one of a local politician - change for the
sake of change.
