A new kernel (2.6.20-16.29) reverting the piix changes was released: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-470-1 on 08 June 2007. Additionally a new wiki page describing how references to partitions should be UUIDs/labels has recently appeared: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingUUID .

Martin Pitt basically said the answer to this depends on the kernel folks:
