So far as OFX is concerned, there is no suggestion of any change
enforcing a specific name for the brokerage account. As things stand
now, from what Chris reports, no asset account at all is assigned, so
all transactions are 'broken' (his words), meaning I think that they are
unbalanced in not having that account. The patch just allows an already
assigned 'Brokerage' to be the default. If a user has not assigned such
an account, then the present situation is maintained, I think. By the
by, it seems that to make use of this default, then the use of the
'Brokerage' account needs to be selected when the investment account is
created. It doesn't work, so far as I have seen, if later an
appropriately named account is created for the investment account. I
have to say that I have no direct connect OFX facility, and have tested
just with a constructed OFX file. I suspected at first that during
mapping, the brokerage account could be specified, but the spec. seems
to say otherwise.
With CSV import, the user has more control. He gets asked for the asset
account name. If a valid account name is entered, then that is used.
If no valid name is entered, then what happens depends on whether or not
the chosen investment file has a correct "Brokerage" account. If there
is one, then it is used. If not, the transaction will be imported minus
an asset account, and one will need to be added. (This is not quite as
things stand now, but I am testing a small patch to make this work better.)

I do see that KMM offers that default/specific name
when creating the brokerage account, but it does let you (or did when I
last created an account) rename or choose an already existing account.
I do have to manually specify the brokerage account when manually
creating transactions in the investment account. I don't know what
would happen on importing, as I have so many other issues with importing
OFX for investment accounts, that I've been trying to put together a
comprehensive report of my specific problems, but keep getting sidetracked.
I would really like not to see any restrictions on the name or
relation/hierarchy of the brokerage account for any investment account,
although I suppose I could live with it.

AFAIR, an older version of KMyMoney allowed to use any name for the
brokerage
account and the mapping to the investment account was done via this
KVP entry.
Nowadays, the brokerage account has to have a specific name derived
from the
investment account and this will do the mapping behind the scenes.
Not knowing out of which context you took that line I cannot comment if
removing is a good idea. Think about old data files which still
contain this
KVP an rely on it. Not sure if that makes sense, but it just crossed
my mind.
