And the UUIDs will give you a hard time when you duplicate drives and boot with two identical UUIDs. e.g.: dd if=/sda of=/dev/sdb Remove /dev/sda - it's the old one, replace it by /dev/sdb. Put the old drive on the shelfe for backup. Some time later you need data from the old drive (will never happen, for sure) and connect it to your system with a sata-usb-adapter or plug it into a free sata port of your mainboard. Reboot or mount the drive ... fun guaranteed :) That said, uuids are kind of coll, but they get in my way all the time, just like the "new" aka GNOMEish naming schemes for e.g. eth0.
