Ok.

Heh, funny world, isn't it.

Since you can mount a fs by its uuid or label:

# blkid /dev/md7
/dev/md7: UUID="b3a4343f-ea9f-442e-911b-994e70ef2c5c" TYPE="xfs"
# mount --uuid b3a4343f-ea9f-442e-911b-994e70ef2c5c /Net 
# df /Net 
Filesystem      1K-blocks       Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md7       1952749916 1615159700 337590216  83% /Net
# umount /Net/
# df /Net
Filesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         849332 60964    728008   8% /
# ls -l /dev/disk
ls: cannot access '/dev/disk': No such file or directory
#


Isn't /dev/disk/by* redundant, couldn't we just deprecate them,
don't that ?
