For those of you who say that the underlying naming scheme is hidden, I would like to expose that it is not well hidden.

Primarily, when opening a disk, the UUID will be the title of the window.
Secondarily, when clicking on the location bar (pencil icon) it exposes the UUID.
Tertiary, when running programs as root, locations will have UUID names (not simple abstracted names based on size).

I have added some screenshots to demonstrate this:

1 &2 ) Opening the disk exposes UUID in title bar. Clicking the location bar also exposes UUID, see:

3) Running programs as root, exposes UUID as location names. See the following two comparisons,
