How so? The crashed domain is certainly not going to do anything with
those devices anymore... Actually, I'm not even sure I buy the
"unsafe to reuse devices" argument if the domain is only hanging
around in an almost dead state -- it's almost dead, it's not going to
do any requests on those devices anymore...
So regarding the check for termination in check_name, if we only
switch the state to terminated once the domain is almost dead, reusing
the name should be fine...
