Funny enough, I was originally trying to make this work for SST devices.
It didn't make sense to have by-name and by-path, but only have SST
exist in the by-name symlinks. The question there was "what to use for
sst paths?" Eventually I settled with keeping this purely for user
friendliness. But since discussion is already underway for a better
'path', it makes sense to delay this.

Sounds fair, going to spin up v3.

Thanks!
