I would even take the idea a step further,

I should be possible to display the comment field, or an additional alias
field, in the administration gui instead of the name of the tape drives.
That way we could get a much "quieter" view of the devices.

I agree; having a comment attribute in every resource is definately a
great step forwards.

However, I don't think that it goes far enough.  Being able to attach a
comment to every attribute would be more useful still.  That way you
could do things like document why a particular setting is not as dumb
as it first looks, or maintain a modification history for the
attribute.
