Sorry, we are better not changing the current, and possibly used link names.
They are created that way since a long time and nobody knows who uses
the current ones.

Adding additional infrastructure to create more than one by-path link would
be a new feature, which we will for various mentioned reasons not add to
the current code, but which needs to happen in an external package,
maintained/reviewed by someone with an enterprise-storage background
and not live in the systemd code base.

I hope you understand the reasoning,
Kay
