It should be noted that this is only a problem when you move disks from one system to another. When you already have disks with those labels, anaconda sees them - and does not use them. I will pick up the latest Linux Journal and see what the article says - but to be honest, it sounds like he is ranting without even having tried it. If I recall, anaconda allows you to specify the label as well. At least I think it use to. Using the mount point for the label only happens by default when another partition does not already have that label.
