I can see your concern of upgrading (especially for those who compile and install KDE manually instead of using package manager (like emerge) to ensure clean removal of previously installed files). Maybe one dummy konsolesessions.desktop (only containing Hidden=True) should also be installed to avoid users seeing both "konsole profiles" and "konsole sessions" in krunner.

But the reason I want to also change the reset is not for users, but for developers/contributors, especially for those (including myself) who are not familiar with the history of those runners and just want to investigate and fix some bug quickly from time to time. 

If I just change the user visible name, then there will be a konsoleseesions/ subfolder providing krunner_konsolesessions.so and konsolesessions.desktop, yet its visual name is "konsole profiles" , and its entry within krunnerrc is "konsolesessionsEnabled", and what it does is "konsole profiles".  That is just confusing(even more than now) to random contributors. Unless someone digs the code, commit history and this review request, he/she can hardly understand why he/she is seeing such a strange combination.  That even does not take into account all those names styled after "sessions" instead of "profiles" within the existing code.
