Sorry, no. Existing users on bionic expect their drives to retain the same udev information they have been using, and changing that - even if it is to 'correct' values - is not appropriate.

For example, if someone was referencing their disk in /etc/fstab using its /dev/disk/by-id/ path, they expect that not to change. This patch would (for affected drives) change it. That potentially would break existing users' systems, which isn't acceptable for a stable release.
