Fair enough, I see your point.
However there are filesystems which simply don't have the notion of inode
numbers, or _anything_ that would indentify a file other than it's name. And

POSIX does require a file's inode number to be stable. To see this consider
what happens if you stat() a pathname and remember the st_dev and st_ino
values, then some time later you stat() the same pathname and observe that
the st_ino value i
