Since SATA support was merged, certainly since v2.4, and from way
before /dev/disk/by-id existed.

I have no idea how "SATA before USB" had been done in the past (if it
was ever a thing in the kernel), but that has not been the case since
at least v3.0 AFAIR.

It is the case in v4.6. We had change hda->sda for SATA drives long
time ago, it was stable since that.

No, but you can always use root=PARTUUID=, that's built into the
kernel. (root=UUID= requires udev or so though).

Silly me. root=UUID= has nothing to do with udev, but `blkid` in
util-linux. At least that's how it's done in Arch/mkinitcpio.

I'd rather not mess with initrd, and initrd was not required in the
past.

kernel-parameters.txt only mentions UUID= in connection with
resume. Is the documentation correct?
