The fpp-format tool does not do proper formatting; now we have a better formatting tool in fpp-tools: https://github.com/fprime-community/fpp-tools. However, the fpp-format tool is still needed for putting FPP into a canonical form for testing and development and for doing source-to-source transforms, e.g., adding state machine enums, expanding include specifiers, expanding templates. So we can't just delete it. We should rename it to avoid confusion with the true formatter.
The name fpp-to-fpp has been suggested; this seems reasonable to me.
