I would argue that this is even more hacky. At least allowing aliases on @keyframes is a feature, even though it’s intended to help with a hack and could aid readability in other use cases too (e.g. reusing an animation for different purposes could now use different names). Allowing garbage in animation-name just to trigger changes is very, very conspicuously a hack :P
