Speaking on Alexander's side, I'd want to mention that many of our users
had been bitten by obscure adX naming during past years (largely due to
ATA_STATIC_ID option which was probably useful back in times when there
typically was only one IDE controller present in system, but leads to all
sorts of weird ad4-6-8's in recent years) had already migrated to glabel
or GPT labels, to avoid precisely the issues we're talking about here.
