No idea!
Not that I care anyway: tho whole point would be to get rid of /dev/sdXX,
but with a little bit of compatibility.

Actually I guess the link could be done by the kernel itself (instead of
internally mapping the /dev/sd0a to scsi-id 3, partition 1 at boot time,
it could create a link on the file-system at the very same time and then forget
about that mapping).

I'm talking about having to reompile the kernel when you want to add a second
swap drive, or the (supposed) inability of the normal kernel to mount anything
else than /dev/sd0a on /. The root drive should be the same as the boot drive
rather than being hardcoded in the kernel.
