UUID mounts aren't all that hard, and they allow you to reorder partitions
without things mounting in the wrong place. It would certainly solve this
problem, as well as some others, like accidentally leaving a USB device
logged in and then having the system not boot correctly.

What tools are you referring to?  I was planning on using gparted.
