Rationale was to use "latest deployed" name, as Name might change during time. See comments in [NEXUS-4448](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-4448). So, in short, latest deployed plugin "wins" (or when rebuild maven metadata happens, as versions become sorted, "greatest version" wins), as plugin name change is obviously "legal thing" to do.

Now, from comments in NEXUS-4448, currently we do not know about any code that actually _uses_ the name field. If it's a historic construct or meant just to help manual inspection of metadata, this change should be fine. Anyway, this change has minimal if no impact at all.
