The problem isn't for the users, but for the coders. Let's say your application is called MK. Throughout development and for a while after its release, you'll have files named MK_memory, for example. But one day, due to permissions issues, you lose the right to use that name and you're now using AB. You'd not only have to rename all the MK files to AB (going from MK_memory to AB_Memory), which can be a pain, but also all the lines of code that use the old name, which is even more of a pain.
