Which was one of my suggestions, only I wouldn't use labels, but uuids (not every partition has a label, all have uuids).
However, every other udev update breaks labels and uuids for device-mapper devices (like lvm), so we'd need exceptions for those (they have persistant names anyway) ... all not that pretty.
I like the idea of using uuid's too.. it won't be too pretty, but it will give us a default that works. People can always change it to /dev/sda3 if they want
I would say: use UUIDs and document where and when breakage occurs (device-mapper). Let's face it, a vast majority of people probably don't use lvm or crypto devices... and those that do are knowledgeable enough to know they may need special configuration dances
Done and done. Changes are in my git tree. Still need to hit the docs [with a sledgehammer]. -S
