The use of node descriptor was intended to be entirely up to the installation in a manner to debug/locate nodes. Not be used in libraries. I'm surprised that libraries are broken.
Libraries are broken due to the rename of the device. The changing of the node descriptor is another consequence of the device rename. Libraries can be patched. Node descriptors changing out from under a sys admin is another problem altogether.

I'm sure there are ways to get back to the old name. The problem is what happens by default when users upgrade.
