The majority of the users want this and Windows Explorer uses this shortcut key for renaming. TC7 is a good time to change this.

How can u say that is the majority ?
The majority of TC Users dont visit this board.

I prefer Shift+F6 for Rename

You know you can change the shortcut, you also know how to. Beginners don't.

m^2,

You know you can change the shortcut, you also know how to. Beginners don't.

So how would they know how to change it back to Shift-F6?

Good point
But usually newcomers are more green than these who know that there's such shortcut.

Not a good point at all.

In particular newcomers will have been spoilt by Explorer and hence expect F2 to be used for renaming.

I do not know why we had this poll as the bloody F2 key is still used for refresh by default.
(Guess there are more important things to worry about, though.)

karlchen,

Well, there is at least one unproven assumption and one ambiguity in that part of the sentence.
