I agree with you that there should not be a lot of templates using this
code at this time. But, even though we document the change, updating
``.name()`` is not required, it's not a fix. I'm totally fine with adding
``.displayName()`` to fix typos or improve unclear wording but we should not
introduce anything breaking existing workflows on minor releases (as per our
[dev
guide](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Version+Scheme+and+API+Compatibility)).
