co authoring excel sharepoint 2010 / SharePoint 2013

TechNet article provides guidance for administrators to configure co-authoring for their organization. Many of these are using Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

• Configure versioning for co-authoring (SharePoint Server 2010) - When multiple authors work on the same document, edits are retained on the server as document versions. This article describes how to configure document library versioning settings for co-authoring.
• Configure the co-authoring versioning period (SharePoint Server 2010) - When versioning is turned on, SharePoint Server takes periodic snapshots of documents, saving them for later reference. This article describes how to configure the co-authoring versioning period.
• Configure the maximum number of co-authoring authors (SharePoint Server 2010) - Administrators can limit the maximum number of authors that can co-author a document at the same time. This article describes how to configure the maximum number of co-authoring authors
• Disable co-authoring (SharePoint Server 2010) - Co-authoring can also be disabled on the client side using Group Policy. This article describes how to disable co-authoring

Help with list view threshold error

I am sure we have all encountered the list-view threshold limit of 5000 items many times. However, this is a scenario I have not encountered: We have libraries that exceed the threshold limit that the users have organized into folders. I am recommending splitting these out into different libraries to keep below the threshold but Microsoft articles advise that this is a reasonable way to manage large lists.

Here is my problem: what if I want to change the URL of the site? When I go to change the site title and URL I am hit with an error prohibiting the operation due to exceeding the 5000 item threshold. I assume that this is because SharePoint is updating each list item with the new site URL as the path for the item is a hidden metadata field.

Are we expected to never change the site name if we have large lists or am I missing something? I will get around this issue in the short-term by splitting the library but I am unsure what to tell future clients, especially since I can't find any articles on this specific issue online.

Please provide your suggestions / advice / recommendations by means of COMMENTS
