No, since I type the line in manually every time, it is not located 
anywhere for it to be discovered and need denying. I know my system very 
well. I know if I put one USB drive into a slot, it will be named 
(USB0). If I plug more than one USB drive into the system, I know what 
they will be named based on their physical locations.

Look, you can't presume to know my setup better than I do and then try 
to convince me that I don't require this feature. I understand if it 
won't be included, but don't hold it out because you think people are 
too stupid to know how to use it, or worse, because you think people are 
too stupid to know that they don't need it. There are people who want 
this feature for good reasons and have the know-how to be able to 
utilize it. Why can't you just accept that?
