Hmm, maybe the order /shouldn't/ matter, then. I already thought about
making a patch that lets you have some other interesting fields, without
the order mattering at all. E.g.

# no ID=, but DRIVERCALLOUT, DRIVER="dasd-eckd", PROGRAM="/sbin/dasdname", NAME="%c"

# new CLASS=, NAME= first
REPLACE, NAME="tape/norewind/nst%n", CLASS="tape", KERNEL_NAME="nst*"

Btw, can someone explain to me the difference between TOPOLOGY and NUMBER?
The documentation suggests that they are used differently, but I
could not find any difference in the code.
