so you want to break roaming behavior that works since more than a
decade this way on all OSes ?

WLANs with the same name and same encryption but multiple APs are a
pretty standard thing, no OS i know distinguishes between the physical
APs in such a setup (and Ubuntu desktop doesn't either today (and never
did))

I would find it personally very annoying if i suddenly had multiple
entries for my existing wlan show up on my laptop (not knowing which one
is the basement or the second floor AP) and would suddenly have to
manually pick the right AP while going up and down the stairs ...

i dont get why we need to break established and "quasi stanrdard"
behavior all of a sudden ...
