None of the linked issues tell me the "why" of this change. What's the point, and why is it worth the churn?

personally i don't care for this, but the amount of noise and round trips nitpick-able issues like this cause during reviews is reason enough for me to eliminate such copy-paste footguns from the tree

I don't understand how this change will reduce nitpicks. I can imagine equal numbers of reviewers asking for re-use of the pname versus statically defining it.

it's only a small holistic nudge yes, but is that a blocker?

I’m neither blocking, nor approving, just discussing. :)
