Another smoldot PR later should add support for forkId once Substrate/Polkadot have released a version that uses it.
Does the monthly substrate releases count? I can see that the last "stable" release was in Feb. 2021.
If the answer is yes, can I give this a shot?
Yes, go for it!
I don't think we need to maintain backwards compatibility in smoldot, you can just overwrite /paritytech/grandpa
with the replacement name.
You should be able to test if it works by running the JS demo and checking if the finalized block updates itself over time.
cc https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues/10969 (I've coincidentally just noticed that when debugging some parachains stuff)
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/11938 also now changed other protocol names.
(see also https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/5849, but it only changes protocols not implemented in smoldot at the moment)
