"Yeah. We do have the first-mover advantage, and that's not to be discounted, but... I'm torn between wanting everyone to know about the names problem so they can protect future generations of mortals, and wanting no one to know about the names problem so I don't wake up one morning to find some paranoid individual has gotten hold of a gate-capable fairy and started invading every planet they can find a holo of. I hadn't realized until just now how much of the stability of human relations is maintained by the inability of people to travel from point to arbitrary point without passing through the intervening space... but I know how much it would benefit people to be able to stroll casually between star systems, so denying everyone gates forever seems like the wrong answer. I don't know."
