I never suggested *all* serial ports should be /dev/ttySn, I said that the built-in ports on the motherboard should be /dev/ttySn. The built-in ports can generally be enumerated early on boot in a stable order, and they should be assigned the low ttySn numbers, regardless of what chip is used to implement them.
