Right, so there is an issue implementation wise. Also the discard button 
should probably be in the activity toolbar.

One good news is that with the option to 'resume by default' we actually 
don't create that many entries anymore.

Can we say that the discard option is a general addition but does not 
stop us from landing the current implementation of the Naming Alert?
