You mean, like the feature magically starts working the way
the
intended? 

Haha... either way the name change is a good idea, but if
"roundrobin"
is depreciated before it's removed the name change would
have to wait
till it was removed, or rename both options.

No, just add 'round_robin' (or choose something !=
'roundrobin') as a 
synonym of rrmemory and give a warning in the manager
interface whenever 
'roundrobin' is used.  Then make sure 'roundrobin'
isn't used again 
until at least asterisk 1.10.0 is released (if at all).
