FWIIW I agree with Rick here. Changing the name of the DB object is less work, less risk and has zero impact on our production releases. Also the object is not actually an hsm key, it is a representation of an hsm key in the enforcer db so I don’t think the naming should be so precious. Call it hsm_key_wrapper, hsm_key_descriptor, enforcer_hsm_key_ref,...? Surely you can be creative enough to solve this the simple way :-)
