Yes and no.

Of course you can add a signal, but you must expect old code not to react on 
it.  And in our case, I think the declarative engine cache the role name and 
don't update it.
Other code might also rely on the name not changing, and would stop working 
fine the day the signal is added and the role name changes.

So i think this should be in 5.0 if possible.
