Speaking as a co-author of the draft, I'm open to name suggestions. As for granularity, I'd say this really varies per RFC/feature. We want to make it useful for operators but not too tedious to implement. Realistically, we won't be able to have modules for all existing RFCs, so it's more about new RFCs. The WG should decide the level of feature granularity as part of the document when it is to be published.
