[Linux-cluster] Cluster name vs. alias in cluster.conf

Hi,

Since system-config-cluster-1.0.27, the "name" attribute in the "cluster"
node always stays "alpha_cluster" (when editting a new config with the
GUI) and only the "alias" attribute is set to the name of the cluster
specified in the GUI.

Is this a feature or a bug?  Someone also told me that this causes
problems with the locktable names of GFS filesystems, because the
cluster's name (not the alias) is used as part of the locktable name.
