We really ought to retain the option for the user to use the existing scheme of renaming at start up.
Just stick with unified naming space that dies not conflict with kernel one, as was already done for other devices. udev no more supports renaming of sda to sdb. Why it should support renaming of eth0 to eth1?
Simply because to avoid trouble with random interface names as I've detected with bug #809843. This is the reason why systemd has now a patch 1006-udev-always-rename-network.patch as this avoids this.
Using net0, net1, etc. It is even easier to pronounce than eth :)
Hmmm ... I'm aware that systemd/udev upstream tend to break with traditions but IMHO net<number> isn't very helpful in the daily work of an system admin ... eth<number> show me more than net<number> ... /home/werner> ifconfig | awk '/^[a-z]/ {print $1}' br0 br1 dsl0 eth0 eth1 lo tun0 now if this becomes net0 upto net6
Even better would be support for interface aliasing. There were patches floating around.
