Then sda1 won't hold true for general usb useage. The approach being 
hot-pluggable and most would want to use such animals in that manner.

I was wondering your 'technique' for discovering what /device it's on this 
week or whether you tail /var/log/messages. The dynamic and arbitrary drive 
assignment of Linux-scsi has been a bad design decision. Sum1 didn't think 
this through very well at all, and to get over it they have implemented all 
sorts of even worse design decisions in forcing fixed addresses at kernel 
boot time.
