It's trivial to get stable device names of your choosing. Simply set up a udev rule that matches some unique property of the device, and set NAME=... only nowadays you can't do that: symlinking is all you can do.

The UUID stuff is not magic: it's doing just that, only using RUN= to populate some env vars, then assigning symlinks depending on the value of those vars.
