The device names <-> SCSI addresses is just a part of problem. You still
are not able to assign permanent controller numbers. If you have two
SCSI controllers there is no (general) way to assure that one of them
gets 1 and another 2. (It is possible to some extent with scsihosts
parameter but only if two controllers use different drivers). Which
means that if for some reason one of them is not present (failed) you
suddenly get wrong addresses - _totally_ wrong addresses.
In some cases (LAN interfaces) it may even lead to interesting security
problem.
What is needed is a _generic_ way to assign logical controller numbers
for physical devices. Legacy devices may be ignored in this respect, but
when you have unambiguous device address (like PCI) it is possible.
