It would be nice if standards like USB incorporated some kind of GUID. |

I ended up having to write a udev rule for a pl2303 RS232 adapter to |

tie it to a specific USB port precisely so that I could have more than |
| 10 |
one and know which one talked to which device. |

I'd argue that the udev network interface names were a better (if |
| 13 |
painful to transition to) solution to a problem created by somebody |
| 14 |
else. Being able to use wildcards in configuration files is probably |
| 15 |
an adequate solution for those who are using a single device. |
