I'm -0.2 on documenting this. In general, I'm hesitant to promise more
than strictly needed, mostly because it's more difficult to later change
our minds. For example, what if soon after this patch we decide to
invent a new mechanism for creating names on partitions? Also, in
reality there are additional considerations (how do we truncate very
long names, what do we do if the name is already taken) that I would
rather not ossify in user-facing documentation.
