When the block job event was first added, it was for block pull, where the active layer of the disk remains the same name. It was also in a day where we only cared about local files, and so we always had a canonical absolute file name. But two things have changed since then: we now have network disks, where determining a single absolute string does not really make sense; and we have two-phase jobs (copy and active commit) where the name of the active layer changes between the first event (ready, on the old name) and second (complete, on the pivoted name).
I almost didn't notice this one as I tend to skip cover letters and this looked just like one.
