For what it's worth, I agree with Lonnie that *something* is necessary.

That said, I don't feel it makes sense in the context of [Peer-why_would_this_go_here_its_very_strange].

Well … I don't care whether it's named [Peer-foo] or [Peer_bar] or [Peer baz], though the third option is most appealing IMHO.

I do however care a lot about not having multiple [Peer] sections in the config file. Automated tools like Ansible cannot deal with identically-tagged sections. This makes auto-updating my wireguard configuration unnecessarily difficult.

Thus, if "wg showconf" is intended to output something that can be reused, then the kernel needs to know about the peer's name.
