[asterisk-gui] Context names in the new GUI

I just started using the new version of the GUI and am trying to migrate
settings from a box that had the old GUI.  I have found that the new GUI
uses the username of a VOIP trunk as the basis for the context names in
users.conf and extensions.conf (any maybe elsewhere too?). The old GUI used
the name of the service provider as the basis (or whatever you entered as
the name).

This breaks me... I have multiple VOIP service providers with the same
username, which obvously won't work.  In one case (vitelity.net) they
require two contexts be setup in asterisk with specific naming, one for
vitel-inbound, one for vitel-outbound... both with the same username, but
with different host addresses.  In the new GUI I cannot set this up. If I
manually change the context names by editing users.conf and extensions.conf,
then I can no longer edit the trunk in the GUI.

Can you explain why this change was made?

Is there anyway I can change it back to using the trunk name as the basis
for Context naming?

Thanks
David
