No, it should
1. assign a unique device name to a device once it was discovered,
2. discover devices as quickly as possible, which in turn usually
means in parallel, and that means in random order.
The kernel's device names do not mean anything. (They never did.) Use
udev's /dev/disk/by-*/ symlinks, or partition labels or IDs, whenever
you need not only unique but also persistent device names.
