No, because I can name regions how I wish. You cannot add undocumented ABI and claim in commit msg, that the commit msg is the ABI. Either you have ABI documented or you cannot rely on implicit ABI, thus remove above restriction. This is really poor choice to add such hidden ABI and it already broke several users in the past.
