When I use the update with --be-name, isn't it enough to assume

Hmmm...

We've had debates on this ourselves... not clear
whether --be-name should mean

"if you need a new BE, use this name"

vs

"I think you need a new BE, so use this".

Since I'm "passing through" I'll pipe up and vote for the latter.

It's easy to change a BE's name after it's been created; it's not so easy to undo an operation that updated the active BE in place, then re-run that operation with an additional "--force-new-be" flag.
