So, the problem is when you use a technique name that is normalized to a generic method id, which causes two bundles to have the same name.
The simplest solution is to know the list of forbiden ID for techniques (ie, in addidion to existing techniques names) and to use a workaround - at minima, an error message "change the name" (like today for same technique names), or perhaps something like happending a number of whatever.
We will target that change in 7.0 even if it also exists in previous version since their is a workaround (even if you must be aware of it) and a lot of things changed in the technique editor in that version.
