maybe it's time to give something back instead of always asking?
just learn to use a internet search and type "Inukaze Slackware64 14.2 Script" and maybe you can found a few scripts :=)
i prefer learn, and for learn, i ever make questions, ever asking things. from the reads i can comprend and for the another users with similars need/interests about operating systems and how it works.
The point is not if UUID is a simple replacement, my dunno is why is not the default in Slackware 14.2?
Simply put? Because on probably 90% or greater of the installations, UUID just isn't needed. Not that many people have their drive assignments changed and they are perfectly happy using /dev/sda for their references.
If you use LVM, the logical volumes and physical volumes are assembled via their UUIDs under the covers so you don't have to deal with it at all.
(I'll admit that still leaves the boot partition, but you can select that via BIOS or however UEFI does it. I don't have an UEFI motherboard, so I haven't had to deal with that yet.)
