This is a numbering resulting from enumeration thing so it gets to be
like the issues we've had with the order in which block and ethernet
devices appear, it's on the edge the extent to which people might be
relying on it. If it's causing some problem as is and there's a reason
to do something (see the first half of my reply...) but the case gets
even harder to make with stable.
