Ok,

I've been working a lot on mkinitrd lately and getting to know it better. As
such I can now say with certainty that allowing to specify root by targetname
is not something which we are going to support.

For cases where the device number may change one can already specify root by
UUID or LABEL, and that is the supported solution to handle these situations,
as this works independend of the underlying storage technique.

We are not going to add various hacks to allow other ways of specifying the
root device which are storage technique dependend.

Closing this as not a bug, since it is not a bug (but a denied RFE)
