Currently mapnik generates labels for all boundary relations if they have names. This is contraproductive for boundary=political, as these boundaries aren't interesting to many people but tend to have similar shapes to administrative boundaries and their labels can obscure these of the administrative boundaries.

Example region: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/50.6846/7.1189

Current rendering: In the center of a political boundary is a label with the boundary's name.

Expected rendering: The boundary should be invisible

Currently the only workaround is using another tag except `name' to record the name, but this makes editing harder as editors like Merkaartor or JOSM use the name tag in relation overviews.
