Who has commit access? ;) We will not create any persistent links which contain simple enumeration or driver names. That just doesn't make sense. Driver names are kernel implementation details that are free to change any time, you can match on them with rules, but not put them into persistent link names. Also the enumeration number appended to the end of the name creates more problem than is solves, because it again depends on discovery order of the device, which can also change at any time.
