I'd prefer to keep the job names somewhat descriptive... If i had to 
pick one or the other, i'd rather stick with the current way, as at 
least for me it's higher priority to see descriptive names in CI results 
than saving time on finding featureset file mapping when needing to 
reproduce a job result. My eyes scan probably more than a hundred of 
individual CI job results daily, but i only need to reproduce 0 or 1 job 
failures locally usually.

Alternatively, could we rename "featureset001.yaml" into 
"featureset-ovb-ha.yaml" and then have i guess something like 
"gate-tripleo-ci-centos-7-ovb-3ctlr_1comp-ovb-ha" for the job name? 
Maybe "ovb" would be there twice, in case it's needed both in node 
config and featureset parts of the job name...

Or we could pull the mapping between job name and job type in an 
automated way from project-config.

(Will be on PTO for a week from now, apologies if i don't respond timely 
here.)


Have a good day,
