There are semantic problems with using rule(name=..., ...) instead of using name = rule(...) on the top-level, because there can be multiple rules with the same name exported from a single bzl file.
We decided to remove name parameter from the rule call.
Expected timeline:
- Flip the flag with Bazel release 6.0.0
- Remove the flag and implementation from Bazel@HEAD in Q4 2022.
