Ultimately what we have is a situation similar to hard disks. We've got used to sd devices changing depending on the order disks are discovered in, which is why we use LABEL or UUID.

But those don't work until something has already identified the device. If you are old enough, you might remember unix versions that named disks by controller, bus, target numbers. Which worked, but wasn't very human-friendly either.

The new process is new and therefor bad, wrong, disgusting, an abomination.

But maybe... just maybe... it'll work.

Maybe. If the names are relative to populated slots, maybe not.
