--- Comment #17 from Greg Kroah-Hartman (greg@kroah.com) ---
This is not going to change, sorry.
We can not rename USB block device names, as it would break all current systems
that have been working just fine for the past 20+ years with USB disks on
Linux. To do so is crazy and not how Linux development works at all.
If we were to do this, there would be hundreds of thousands of mad users and
broken systems, not something that you should be asking to have happen.
If you want persistent disk names, use /dev/disk/by-*/ symlinks, that is what
they are there for, and have been there for 15+ years.
