Description
This issue was spawned by discoveries of deficiencies in the code quality of DataFile upgrade routines found while working on PR #6850 and PR #6851 .
It's been proposed by @sakertooth to create generic routines for renaming elements and renaming attributes. I also proposed a generic lambda callback function to run on each element of a certain tag for more complex upgrade routines.
This issue is created as a deferral for me (and anyone who wants to chip in) to work on when I get time and to keep scope creep down in the two PR's mentioned.
