That would allow people to address the devices by position, which is not
stable -- you insert another device near the beginning and everything
still works -- but some time later, when the cache for the ordering
times out, everything is mislabeled.
IMHO it's better to offer a file that shows the ordering, but still
force everybody to address devices by ID.
