No, it's due to the long-running upstream transition away from the IDE
driver framework in the kernel to a generalized framework for
{SCSI,PATA,SATA}. The switch to a UUID naming scheme is done in *response*
to this, recognizing that owing to this transition (as well as other
factors), kernel device names are not stable.
