I've been told that the change was made so that if a partition is
added, deleted, or moved, the kernel can still figure out what to
mount where at boot time. I don't know if that's true or if it works.
I do know that I don't like it, and find it decidely inconvenient.
Then again, I'm not a typical user, and if the typical newcomer finds
that scheme more reliable and less cryptic, then I'll try to keep my
grumbling to myself, and just change it back.
