I like the idea of using uuid's too.. it won't be too pretty, but it will give us a default that works. People can always change it to /dev/sda3 if they want I would say: use UUIDs and document where and when breakage occurs (device-mapper). Let's face it, a vast majority of people probably don't use lvm or crypto devices... and those that do are knowledgeable enough to know they may need special configuration dances
