Slightly more verbose:
Due to changes in the Linux kernel the probing of SCSI devices is no
longer deterministic. This could be an issue for installations that
rely on the disk probing order. Two possible alternatives using
links in /dev/disk/by-path or an udev rule are suggested in this
Linux Kernel Mailing List post.
How does the attached proposed text look?

Oh, LKML's officially the Linux Kernel Mail^ing^ list. And we could
save a whole three characters in that URL if we use the redirector:

<ulink url="https://lore.kernel.org/r/59eedd28-25d4-7899-7c3c-89fe7fdd4b43@acm.org/">this

Ugh, I blame it on lack of tea (I did notice that too in the original suggestion) :)
