Logical IDs are based on construct IDs and the tree
Changing logical ID means replacement (so refactoring implies replacement)
Physical names impede replacement and can get you stuck so don't use them, Use autogenerated names instead and pass the result around
If you get stuck, use stack.renameLogicalId
Cover how to override logical IDs
