All I have to say is, I though I gave up drive letters when I stopped using DOS.
Long ago I brought this up and also was looking for a way to access partitions by their label (which FAT, and ext2 support). This removes the possibility of partition shift and an unbootable/screwed up system if the disks get changed.
If it hasen't been brought up I here by throw it into the loop. (I'll start following this thread from now on)
