I agree. However, we are running the 12.2 train and trying to replace or
add statements via sequence numbers is buggy. Sometimes it works,
sometimes not. However, it always works with prefix-lists.

IOS does assign a sequence number to standard and extended access-lists.
This allows us to remove or add another line anywhere in the ACL.

Rack1R1#sho access-lists

Rack1R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Rack1R1(config)#access-list 1 permit 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config)#access-list 1 deny 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config)#access-list 1 permit 3.3.3.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config)#access-list 1 deny 4.4.4.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config)#do sho access-lists 1
Standard IP access list 1
    10 permit 1.1.1.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    20 deny 2.2.2.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    30 permit 3.3.3.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    40 deny 4.4.4.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config)#

Rack1R1(config)#ip access-list standard 1
Rack1R1(config-std-nacl)#no 30
Rack1R1(config-std-nacl)#15 permit 15.15.15.0 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config-std-nacl)#do sho access-list 1
Standard IP access list 1
    10 permit 1.1.1.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    15 permit 15.15.15.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    20 deny 2.2.2.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
    40 deny 4.4.4.0, wildcard bits 0.0.0.255
Rack1R1(config-std-nacl)#
