alternative names in /dev/disk-by/. They were added precisely because device names such as sda are not persistent.
Those long-winded, PITA, alternative names have been around for years. For boot stanza and fstab they can be easily avoided via the ancient LABEL= syntax, though Dracut it seems may have introduced breakage for these two contexts by sticking things in the initrd that don't need to be there.
LABEL is just one of the available methods in /dev/disk-by/. Yes, I agree that using "LABEL=SomeName" is easier than using the alternative "/dev/disk-by/label/SomeName". My entire partition table uses the "LABEL=..." syntax. You can also use "UUID=..." syntax, but not "ID=...", and I do not understand why. You do not have to convince me of that. What I don't do is use that syntax in grub, because I don't know what/where it is supported. Now, what I think you are saying is that the "LABEL=..." syntax was valid in grub, and now it doesn't work - is that it? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
