To be fair to Lennart: your specific use case, if /var/log is just a
separate partition, will work perfectly fine even with Lennart's
change, because mounting a partition on a local storage device using
the UUID is already supported by initramfs implementations (see the
/usr case).

My objection to the change is about more complicated storage setups,
where one would need to put in a lot of work to be rid of limitations
we all have accepted for / and /usr.

Christian
