the way they are described in the article.

Operations have been added to create/destroy names independently of
registering. This was previously done only as part of register, and
there was no way to delete a name from the IRMd.  The create call now
allows specifying a policy for load-balancing incoming flows for a
name. The default is the new round-robin load-balancer, the previous
behaviour is still available as a spillover load-balancer.

The register calls will still create a name if it doesn't exist, with
the default round-robin load-balancer.
