The talk has begun to switch to UUID for F8...  it's unfortunate largely
because UUIDs are so inpenetrable and not memorable.  It's nice to be
able to say LABEL=/ to boot from...
UUID=a511eb56-c6a7-4afd-ae73-498bcb1909bc, err... yeah :)

But since we're limited to 16 character labels, there's not really much
in the way of other options.
