Lots of people will LABEL something ROOT.  Not a lot of people will
pick the same UUID.  So UUID collisions means you purposely cloned a
disk UUID.  LABEL collisions simply happen because they are meant to be
human readable.

The same one it always refers to.  I access my drives by mount point,
not UUID.  They mount by UUID however.

Just like I don't care which is sda, sdb or sdc.  It's the filesystems
and where they are mounted that matter.
