Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-1736:
-------------------------------------------
[~rnewson] primary case is a migration from old dbname to new one with keeping
backward compatibility for the existed software. For example: if db-per-user
scheme was used and user had changed his name it's would be easy to also change
the db endpoint without need to migrate whole database via replications.
