While generic labels can be convenient, I find it very useful for maintaining 
backups using usb enclosure mounted hard drives.   I can test for correct 
destination at the top of the script, and not wreck havoc if the wrong volume 
was spun up.  [They all look about the same from the outside.]

For installation, it makes identifying the inserted disk a simple test of 
[ -d /media/super_project_x ]
