What's stopping you from renaming it?

The upgrade process it goes through when you run it with the -U
parameter.

I've not tried but it shouldn't matter because it knows the filename
from which it was invoked. The "update.py" module gets it from argv[0]
which you will be familiar with if you know C or Python (yt-dl is
written in python). "argv" is an array of command-line arguments
passed to the program, the first being the filename.
