The only use case left for reip is when you have simultaneously changed the node name for every node in the cluster, such as when loading an entire cluster's worth of backups to new machines.
When I need to do this I just create a new, empty cluster with the new names. Then shut down the cluster and restore only the data directories (leveldb, for example) from the backup, leaving the ring directory alone. Then I start up the cluster and it finds the restored data. You need to be careful about restoring the old node's data to the corresponding new node otherwise you'll get hinted handoffs flying between all your nodes but after a bit of trial and error you can figure out which node is which.
