Looks like your mail got a little truncated.

In any case, yes, it does make more sense to be consistent and use the new
names, but what I was getting at is that there were some folks who said
things like:  "You have to change all your device names to da* in order to
use CAM."  That isn't true, of course, but it certainly caused some
confusion and consternation.
