Is there a reason why users would want to change the names ?

Right now, with only a single job possible at a time, libvirt picks a predictable name based on the guest disk being exported. But in the future, when we permit multiple jobs in parallel, it may become important to know which name is related to which job, or even to pick names based on what the client expects. I'm not sure we have an essential use case yet, but I'm also not rejecting this.
