We have never *guaranteed* consistent names across reboots,  It just happens
that this
almost always works unless the device fails to respond, which we can't fix
anyway.
However, testing by users has found that Bart's change to use the driver code
made the boot ordering *very* randomized.  I agree that we should not document
this as
guaranteeing anything, just as making the probing synchronous, like it used to
be.
Really, that's all people are asking for, to get the behavior consistent with
earlier RHEL.

It does not help e.g. for fabric attached SAN devices because the connection
to the storage
may not be up at boot time, users have dealt with that for decades.  It helps
with local disks.
