This issue has just been raised to me in older versions of Opsview as well, so I thought I'd look into this here.

I can't see why display_name and alias are saved to retention.dat as retention.dat is meant to hold data that changes over time (and I don't believe these values are dynamically updatable).

So if no one raises an objection, I'm going to back out this change from trunk tomorrow.
