What if the filesystem is not ext3? There are valid reasons to use
vfat, ntfs, etc.
vfat has both a label and a uuid; ntfs at least has a uuid and I would
guess a label as well although libblkid doesn't seem to know about it.
There's no reason not to use them for mounting those filesystem types
either.
