Seems like a bad idea. Existing method will make
sure that if the device is renamed the output will change.
Also, if you load a ruleset you get a hard error if the device doesn't exist,
unlike with a raw value.
Or, its updated interally to whatever value is needed.
I'm open to Fernandos suggestion wrt. new options but i just don't see
a use case for this.
