Actually, it doesn't appear to work properly with truly removable/re- orderable media If I mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXXX, what is ACTUALLY mounted is, say, /dev/sdc1 And if /dev/sdc1 later points to a different physical device, heh, well, I've got a new physical device showing up in the filesystem. It might be "stable across reboots", but it's not stable across device- renumbers.
