File system labels in default partitioning

[Trammell Hudson]

When I install Qubes r3.2 I do a custom partioning so that I can add
filesystem labels (boot, root, home, swap), which can simplify the
initramfs and my custom boot script since the UUID values are not needed.
This is nice since I don't need to track down the file system UUIDs to
change the boot parameters.

Is there a security or other reason to not have the default partitioning
label the filesystems?

It makes even easier attacks relying on replacing the disk with the fake
one - generally various Evil Maid attacks. But if you're using AEM, it
should be ok.
