EventLog.Delete question

In the EventLog.Delete method, after you delete a log, it says that
you can recreate the log, but then you cannot re-register the
logsources (you had earlier created) (refer to the below notes).
What's the rationale behind this design ? That means that I now have
to have different new logsource names to get my program working.
>From the VS2005 documentation :
<<
This method first deletes the file holding the contents of the log. It
then accesses the registry and removes all the event sources
registered for that log. Even if you recreate the log at a later
point, you will not be able to register the event sources again.
Therefore, applications that previously were able to write entries to
that log using the specified source will not be able to write to the
new log.
