Sounds reasonable, only problem with name hierarchical name is they get to long to fit on circuit board.

If alias is possible I think it is a good idea to use for old or new name?

Not related but I think there is a problem with lowercase letters in gnetlist and maybe space for net names then, at least then using them in pcb they do now show up in list of known nets.
