I haven't jumped into this discussion since I thought that you were only discussing some new feature which I don't have a need for. Now if you want to deprecate %(name)s formatting, the situation is different: my tie would start jumping up and down, doing funny noises :-) So just this comment from me: please don't deprecate %(name)s formatting. For the rest: I don't really care.
