Thin it is time to re- visit the old way of doing things  /de/hda  ect this

I know there were people saying they don't have enough devices with the old 
system well maybe they need to completely Re- think their computing 
needs/System  either that or we have a system whereby you can choose which 
system you use according to your system requirements big box too many drives 
hung off it "/dev/disc/by-ID "  smaller system 2 or 3 drives hung off it  
"/dev/hdx " or if you really must insist on this darn scssi naming convention 
then "/dev/sdx"  ect personally i can see no need for this darn silly calling 
an PATA or IDE device a Scsi device it just adds yet another level of un 
needed complication and confusion  SATA devices should maybe /dev/sat but sdx 
humm   i know this has been beaten up before but i see it as a very valid 
concern here we are  trying to spread Linux and gain more users   yet here we 
also go making it more and more difficult for new users to grasp  if there is 
logic in there somewhere i cant see it .
