I think the first incarnation of the 'labels in fstab' that I saw
would have died a horrible death if you did a dual boot install with 2
copies of it, something that should have been planned as a normal use

what happens in that case now.

But there are only 2 hard problems in computer science: naming things,
cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. (Hmmm, can't find the
right attribution for that now).
