Well allowing the user to specify user visible names is always good. But that 
can still be done with temp*_label files. Last time I checked (when I wrote the 
_label sysfs atrr support code) it would only check for and use a foo#_label 
file if no label was specified in sensors.conf.

This would of course require the temp# numbering to be consistent over reboots 
and kernel versions.
