Github user bdesert commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2527 @MikeThomsen , I think since it is already in 1.5 and ppl started using it, it could be a case, when implementation can use rest APIs to work with these processors. And since we are changing "name" property (which cannot be controlled by user), it can create a problem with those eixsting scripts. Also, name is a part of flow.xml.gz, that will also impact existing implementations and make regression impact. So I had to agree to Pierre comment about regression.
