Hi Yevgeny,

In my personal opinion, these "new device names" aren't necessarily a
bad thing. They take the randomness out of device names when both
devices are identical hardware.

Also, it's very easy to make a shellscript to convert these names into
old-style names: Somewhere in the DNG archives you'll find such a
shellscript in an email from me.

Although this new namescheme is cheerleadered by systemd fanboiz
FreeDesktop.Org, many sans-systemd distros have adopted the new device
naming scheme. I've lived with it for a few years, and it's really not
that terribly bad.
