This prevents the problem where many devices are in use they run out of
letters to assign to and it prevents the volume names from shifting when a new 
partition is created when no harddisks are changed, but that doesn't prevent
the problem of shifting drive letters or shifting volume names when a new
harddisk is added before the existing harddisks. For example if a new harddisk 
is added to become the new harddisk 0 instead of an existing one and all the
existing harddisks are numbered in the order of the existing order then all
existing harddisks get a new number.
