[PVE-User] Why only vmbr<0-9999> as bridge name?

Hello

The Proxmox 2.3-12 web interface only allows bridge names like vmbr<0-9999>.

At least with OpenVSwitch I can create bridges like vmbr-lab which
were much more descriptive.

Why is this limitation necessary? brctl seems to have no problems with such 
names.

bye,
