Yeah, Steve mentioned in London that it was because '_' is hard to communicate to people, and was felt like a better ui would use '-'.
I'm okay with that, but I think it is something that needs a bit of documentation and helpful errors. So that when someone does something that seems natural to them, and it fails, we have a clear reason as to why. Rather than just "'_' is not allowed in names." Which causes more frustration.
Having heard the reasons, I'm actually pretty okay with it, but not everyone has Steve to talk to.
