Replying to top level since it doesn't seem to fit elsewhere.

I have an external HDD that I use for periodic, air-gapped backups. I
use /dev/disk/by-label for it. With that support being removed (or
rather, problematic for some system configurations), which method is
most future-proof? I saw mention of UUIDs; is that what we should switch to?

In my case, it's a removable drive so it may be assigned to something
besides sdc at times.
