On perfherder the twinopen test shows up as "twinopen ext+twinopen:twinopen.html" which I find to be a confusing name as it's not really a pageloader test. Can we get it to just display as "twinopen".

:davehunt, this is a new test that was added last month to Talos, it needs a renaming- I know :igoldan has done some related work, this would need to fix the name output from talos as well as fixing the database in perfherder. Could you help :bdahl out here.

Is it necessary to rename the data associated with the test if it's new? We have renamed in a couple of cases, but doing so is time consuming. Can we just rename the test name sent to Perfherder?

If it's a pain let's just leave as is. I updated the name on the wiki page.

I'm in favour of changing the test name, I just wanted to know if renaming the historic data is a requirement here, or can we just use the new name going forward?

Do we need much historical data to catch regressions? If not, I'm fine with just renaming going forward.

There would be a brief period where our sheriffs would need to manually observe any regressions, however this wouldn't be avoided by performing a deeper rename as the time taken to perform the rename will exceed the window we would need to observe.
