I don't think it is possible to standardize stats ids, for two reasons:
- it is hard to maintain and avoid conflicts between drivers
- the drivers would have to lookup the names which degrades performance
I think the idea of Olivier would improve the performance of stats retrieval,
which was the idea of this rework :)
Unfortunately we need someone available to fix it quickly for RC2.
