Why not just use ext2 labels, i think the whole point
of labels is to avoid using device names, i.e., redhat
default installs reference the labels instead
of device names:

LABEL=/tmp              /tmp                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/usr              /usr                    ext3    defaults        1 2

is this what the discussion is about?  In the above
quote from /etc/fstab the kernel should be able 
to find the partitions even if the disks are rearranged
(ex, should still find it even if /dev/hda 
reappears as /dev/hde when placed on a separate controller 
and so on)
