This is a somewhat crazy thought, but rather than continuing down the

instead just stopped labeling them altogether? We're going to use UUID

then we could get rid of a fair bit of really grotty code.
Other opinions?
I'm all for making things more simple. Labels are a constant
frustration of users, especially when they migrate a drive from one
system to another. Lets just do away with them and call it good.
I thought that when they were first used (RHL 7.2 or 7.3 I think), and I
was using dd to copy drives, then rebooting and having the wrong one mount.
Has my vote.
