I don't really care, I merely pointed out that it's a breaking change
and we should not forget packaging before the release. Downstream or
in-house tools like the varnish agent may catch up later, but people
should be aware when reading the upgrade notes that VCL names may
break.
After all, this is 5.0 :)
I'm also for having C-idents to match VCL labels naming rules, and
migrating from '-' to '_' should be enough for users (for this character at
least).
Cheers
