I don't think that's what it means.  It means that it depends on what is
the end-user-visible effect.  If the remapped version of the command
"does the same" conceptually, then it's OK (even more so if the
non-remapped version of the command ends up misbehaving).

I think the main question is: can we expect that some users out there
will want to use the non-remapped version of the command because they
prefer its behavior?

So, when the alternative is to directly modify the behavior of the
non-remapped command, remapping is always acceptable.
[ But sometimes, remapping just doesn't do what we want, because the
  command is also used as a function from other places.  ]
