I agree. I used to name my machines using metadata, but that became problematic after a while. When machines move or are repurposed, then you either have a misleading name or you have to rename the machine. I prefer to avoid both of those situations.

That's why I switched to names that have no relationship with the particulars of the machines they are assigned to.
