This is a messy problem to handle correctly, and I think that to bring about a good solution will take a considerable amount of research. The ultimate goal is to make things work as well as possible. So it would be quite helpful to accumulate information: 1) Talk to people who work on various Un*x kernels to identify what they use for the LABEL value of UDF partitions. This includes auxiliary programs like Grub which function as their own kernel. 2) Start conversations with users and system packagers to identify how much disruption would be caused by changing the util-linux behavior. 3) Start conversations to find out what would be the ideal behavior if we were not constrained by history -- We want to move toward ideal behavior rather than away from it. In many situations, conversations like this gradually come to a consensus as to what is the best direction of progress.
