The compelling reason I see is that it will be about 6-12 months
before we have converted all our el5's to el6's so its probably a good
idea to keep the other naming scheme around til then. [And just in
case EL7 decides to go use oracle btrfs containers.. might as well
just put the name in the front so we don't get confused in 2-3 years
time :).
