@MikeThomsen , I think since it is already in 1.5 and ppl started using it,
it could be a case, when implementation can use rest APIs to work with these
processors. And since we are changing "name" property (which cannot be
controlled by user), it can create a problem with those eixsting scripts. Also,
name is a part of flow.xml.gz, that will also impact existing implementations
and make regression impact. So I had to agree to Pierre comment about
regression.
