++ on this.
As we are moving towards putting more and more automation and Ansible in
general,
putting ourselves in a position where we can't have two different
Gerrits/whatever with the same
name in the inventory will make give us a *lot* of peace of mind when
running plays, as we don't have
a test/staging/prod workflow and we just throw changes via code-review or
by hand.
