Call me a luddite but UUID < partition numbers for the simple reason
I can manually write down numbers and be pretty sure I didn't transpose
one of the 4 pieces of data required to get it to work. Every time I
see a UUID I just wanna thunk my head against the desk.
That's why there's also LABEL. You just gotta do your own uniqueness.
