I'm on record saying

    I believe [this patch] makes sense no matter what we do about device
    IDs (see thread "Should we auto-generate IDs?").

This patch weakens *one* reason for auto-generated IDs: device_del
without ID is impossible before, and merely a bit inconvenient after.  I
haven't been able to keep up with the discussion on auto-generated IDs,
so I can't currently judge how strong the other reasons are.
