[alpezed]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've created a block like bb-gutenberg/box but i have a dynamic block already with prefix better-gutenberg/box. After updated my block to better-gutenberg/box name it breaks everything.

Describe the solution you'd like
I just want to update my block from bb-gutenberg/box name to better-gutenberg/box name without breaking my old content that using old block name (bb-gutenberg/box)

Hi, sorry but what i need exactly is change my block from bb-gutenberg/box namespace to better-gutenberg/box, but it breaks everything because the bb-gutenberg/box is missing.

Maybe it would be an option to add a name property to objects in the deprecated property of the new block to accommodate a new block name?

Yes something like that, that will be great if you can add a name property to objects in the deprecated property so i can update or change my block name because i have some other block also that i want to update and change the block name.

Is there any other alternative way to do this? like search the '<!-- wp:bb-gutenberg' and replace with '<!-- wp:better-gutenberg' so the old block name was replace by "<!-- wp:better-gutenberg".
