What a brilliantly dick move, LOL.

We've entered the wonderful world of the traffic limiters. Specifically, we put FACEBOOK subnets through a comparatively skinny pipe. This is done to make it JUST a bit too painful to look at kitten photos, but perfectly suitable to look at CompetitorCo's facebook page for legitimate business purposes. We're still collecting empirical data on how much it disuades personal use, but it doesn't seem to create tension the way that explicit blocking would.

The issue:

in <=2.2 if an in-use limiter is renamed, the system will yell at you. IMO, that's good.

in 2.3, if an in-use limiter is renamed, the system will not yell at you. IMO that's bad.

Should this fact be considered a regression, or is there a reason for removing this notice/check?

IMO, it would be preferable to abstract the limiter names the way aliases have been abstracted (so they can be changed without the risk of breaking things) but I understand that limiters may not be used as frequently as aliases.
