I am tempted to reopen this issues:

I like the idea of these additional information items -- though I don't really understand what a name of an instance means: Is it a human consumable short string, while the description is the human consumable "long" string ?

Yet, I think the public and regular API must not have setter methods. These are not protected and any consumer can just change the values however they like.

It would prefer to have these values configurable through the Configuration Admin service -- thus probably having the SlingSettingsServiceImpl be a ManagedService (or maybe have an internal helper class being the ManagedService which is registered as a ServiceFactory for lazy CM API resolution).

> With the introduction of the topology API, we added support for two framework properties sling.name and sling.description. Right now, these values need either be set as system properties or in the sling.properties file.
> There are two issues with these:
> - we don't have any default values
> - they are not changeable at run time
