Bug Description
I was surprised to notice a new fstab configuration where typical unix mount point are replaced by UUID=funny_number !
I just want to recall that such a file is supposed to be editable by user and therefore actions of Guru to add more illisibility to configuration is not desired.
For me this is exactly the same philosophy adopted when proposing GRUB as a replacement of LILO the latter one using typical unix mount points whereas GRUB is using things as (hd0) which for unix user has no meaning and consequently is confusing.
All this does not contribute to make Linux comprehensive to potential users and this is a pity !
Regards.

This is because all UUIDs are equal, which means that you can use sda drives, etc.
And it still can be edited - all the mount points, etc. Usually you wouldnt change /dev/hda1 anyway - only where it's mounted to, or how it's mounted.
