Why does fstab use partition UUIDs vice partition labels in F9 beta?

It would be nice to get a commented line above each that has the label that the next 
line's UUID is expected to be in reference to.  Basically a human readable comment but if 
there were multiple partitions that had the same label you'd still get unique identifiers 
in fstab but have two UUIDs that have commented out labels that match.

For a partition labeled 'archive'
# archive
UUID#######  /dev/sdx  ext3  defaults 0 0
