I wouldn't say that people don't give a damn about it, only that it is not 
a priority: first we need to be able to give a component the name its 
developer intended for it, then we can worry about how to allow other 
people to rename it.

I also think that it is important that the default case (i.e. use the name 
that the developer gave it) requires no input on the part of the user.
