IIRC, in 2.0 gnucash will prevent you from renaming a report to the same
name as an existing report.  (In the Future, the primary identifier for
reports should be a unique URL (or GUID).)

Not really, at present.  I've heard that there's an ability to load custom
reports from a user directory, but I don't see documentation of it.  That
at least would let the user add new (or modifications of existing) reports
without mucking with the installed tree.  I'd imagine future systems for
handling reports would do a similar process of enumerating a set of known
directories/locations for reports to register at runtime.
