This is not very helpful if scsi_id is used to generate meaningful=20 persistent driver ids, as the user might want to check the links created=20 by udev against the device list presented by the system (e.g. via=20 'dmesg' or 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' or even by scanning sysfs). Can't we just ignore NAA ids and fall back to page 0x80 + inquiry if=20 these are all we will get via page 0x83? Just having an arbitrary number=20 is not very helpful and totally intransparent to the user.
