PRO: This would make editing PoI much easier, especially for the Companion Bot, because you have a unique way of telling which PoI is meant. Currently, if a PoI should be updated (e.g one of the 100 Playground Pokestops should get a better name), you do not know for sure which of the PoI to modify exactly. If every PoI would have its portal guid as alias, it would be unique again.
CON: This rather cryptic alias may confuse community members who pull up Info for a PoI. Also, this is used very infrequently, because most of the time, the PoI stay the same.
