At which point there is no need for the name at all.  I agree that having the
'name' was an unfortunate decision, but adding more attributes does not seem
like a proper fix.  If it needs to be changed then we should allow changing the
name in the process.  You can also unplug the old name and plug in the new one,
just like you'd have to do with role='peer'.  Did I miss any other reason for
this?
