I'm not aware of any protocol to deprecate, warn, and remove the
fallback name. It's a fallback because it can't ever really be removed.

Anyway, if you're not willing to add the .name then that's fine. We can
deal with the problem easily by adding a .name in the future if someone
complains that things aren't working. Sound like a plan? If so, it's
probably good to add some sort of note in the commit text so that when
the bisector lands on this patch they can realize that this
intentionally broke them.
