Change default behavior of filter pools in RDi.

In RDi filter pools are VERY useful! But, there are some strange behaviors that I think should be addressed.

1. For some reason you cannot rename, or delete the default filter pool. Also, the name of the filter pool is UGLY! If you try to rename it to something more useful, you'll find it reverts back to it's default name. A name like,

HQOlson:com.ibm.etools.iseries.subsystems.qsys.objects

Is ugly when you have filter pools named to suit your needs.

Also the default WW options like Work with libraries... cannot be moved or renamed either. I don't see why since you can put them back if you need them. I'd like for us to have the ability to rename, delete, or move them.


Use Case:

See above.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    Creating a new filter brings it back however (but the newly created filter shows up under the renamed pool, not the orginal one).

    Just tested a rename of the default one in 9.6.0.4 and so far it seems to work and doesn't revert back.
