Programmers rarely change codebase names when corporate names change - it has a huge cost for almost no benefit. That's why so many of Apple's Objective-C class names start with NS - which is for NextStep, the company Apple acquired in the mid 90s.

I would say I find a patter of meaningless name changes much more prevalent in "enterprise software" circles.
