Hi,

I don't agree with this. A solution to this is to use a prefix of the
parent's name in the name of the children.
Orgunit names should be unique to avoid having a chaotic/messy database.
Data values in the database are described by the data element + the period +
the orgunit.

Orgunit hierarchy is not referenced from the data values so the
proposed change would easily cause problems when dealing with the data.

best regards,
