Avoid Chicken/Egg Syndrome

Note: you can’t rename the site from yourdomain.com to www. yourdomain.com or from www. yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com in a one step. You need to rename it to anything.yourdomain.com first, and then to the final expected version. This is because the “www” (or non-www) version (alias) already exists, so it could cause some kind of chicken/egg syndrome when renaming the site and is therefore not allowed in Aegir.
