Mostly agreed.  As you noticed, uniquify uses advices and that should be
fixed.  A good way to fix it is to come up with a good
name-buffer-function variable that holds a function that's run whenever
a buffer name is chosen or modified.  This variable's default would be
a function that implements the usual <N> stuff and it could be replaced
by uniquify to do something more clever.
