It still *may* work, but it is not recommended for a very simple reason, kernel device names are not predictably named. if you want that changed, complain in LKML but I will not hold my breath.
Actually, it has for 20 plus years.
Those hard drives have been predictably named for 2 decades.
Till manufacturers invented SATA and eSATA, so that we can connect a dozen internal disks, instead of 4 on good machines on 2 wide ribbon cables. And they changed hardware so that we can even add or remove disk while the machine is running.
external scsi would like to wave hello at you. so would a dozen or so evernal scis zip drives.
Those times of one or two PATA disks are long gone by.
