no. it is not stupid. it is the most reasonable way. one can replace a part
and do not have to touch any system config.
but that's too hard to locate a part for common desktop user and we get a
user frienfly system which is bound tight to the detsils of the hardware it
is using and have to reconfigure itself every time new part is added. even
temporary. and finaly another layer of abstraction is invented, dynamic
reconfiguration instead. all to speed up boot process.

device by manufactuter name or model name or serial. this is stupid.
