Since Default User is playing with restoring partitions from backup and 
cloning disks lies somewhere nearby, it may happen that 2 disks with 
identical partition labels may be installed simultaneously.

Partition UUIDs are affected as well, but e.g. sgdisk has a dedicated 
option:

P.S. Some people hate consistent network device naming that was 
introduced to solve the same problem with eth0-like names as the one 
caused widespread of UUID in fstab instead of /dev/hdaX.
