I think this was an executive decision by Wes because:

1) the table token was broken
2) no easy way to fix 1 in container version
3) work influences needed a working cvs, ASAP
3) new container version still exists, but renamed

I think #3 prevented the normal discussion before the change, but it probably
should have been brought up afterwards. We were under a work deadline that
distracted us, unfortunately.

I can pretty much guarantee that there won't be any issue with renaming them.
The existing name was just so that he could get the reverted code back into cvs
asap, so as not to appear that the concept was unacceptable.
