Given that this change affects the management schema and what is
effectively the primary key for bridges/links, this will obviously affect
the Java broker too.  (If checked in as is it would no doubt immediately
break the java build).

It's not that I personally disagree with the design decisions, but any
change like this should probably be discussed and agreed widely before work
is embarked upon... or else the person working on it should make the
changes across *both* codebases.

Cheers,
Rob
