No one is making you use it.
OTOH, it is available to those who comprehend utility in it.
I'm really not oposed to that. Choice is good and it allows for people to customized the use and behaviors of their systems for their own particular situations. I was content that I was able to run fdisk on the uuid names, which is at least it works! Good acept you still have touble know which device is say, failing, or causing troubles. If you want to have this name added to the table, that would have been a better solution. Two things though: I'm sure it is not really a choice and this trend of movement away from the hardware sucks. I don't want or need long drawnout human unreadable computer generated names for disks or ehternet cards or anything else.

Contemplate if you will ramifications of device names and UUIDs among the following excerpts
I don't even know the point of that is. At this point, I really don't want to spend the time teasing out what tht means. I'm busy with EER graphs, and Parity checks on the memory bus.
