This was a hangover from LADSPA, which had confusing and contradictory
claims about what should/shouldn't be used to identify ports.
I still don't think there's consensus there.

On the LV2 website, Lars Luthman's UI
extension is described as:
"This extension is written for revision 2 of the LV2 specification
and is NOT compatible with revisions 3 and later. Do not implement
this extension in new plugins or hosts, and do not expect it to work
in old ones. It is only available here for archaeological purposes."
For anyone genuinely interested and not just taking vain pot shots to
further some weird personal vendetta or whatever the hell:
The thing that changed in r3 is: persistent references to ports must
refer to ports by their symbol, and not their index. Persistent means
things on disk that might refer to several versions of a plugin in the
future, nothing about the index has actually changed. Plugin data
files, host session files, etc.
