I received the email:
---
You are receiving this email because an RFE that you have previously submitted, but which was rejected by the product team, can now be resubmitted for future consideration in product roadmap.

So I hereby reopen the RFE.
We agree that it would be nicer if EGL could always retain the original names. However, there are situations where it is critical that the names be unique, which is why EGL is creating aliases. Our investigation showed that it would be quite costly to redesign those areas so that aliasing would not be necessary. This is not likely to be high enough in our list of priorities to make it into a near-term release. Therefore we are rejecting the RFE.
We are working with the submitter of this request to understand their specific scenario, since the example does not look like a name that would typically be generated by EGL.
