We've been though this before , such as when we made /dev/ 'dynamically generated'. It didn't fit everyone's needs right away. (I'm not sure it does even now.)
Right now all I see in in rules.d/77-network.rules which uses ifup/ifdown and rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which maps an Ethernet address to eth0
YMMV - it probably does :-)
Don't hold your breath, in 13.1 we're headed toward socalled "PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames", such as enp13s0, enp14s0, enp3s1f0, enp3s1f1, enp6s2 ...
It will be a bit more complicated than that ... those predictable interface names are defined for PCI attached devices only. There is nothing for other classes of devices.
Yes, I know - I'm dreading it. On a xen domu, the devices will be eth0, eth1. On the dom0, I will have enp13s0, enp14s0, enp3s1f0, enp3s1f1, enp6s2 plus perhaps vif0, vif1, vif2. I have some boxes with vlan interfaces named 'vlanX@ethY' - they'll be very pretty if I were to use the new naming scheme. My ip-ip tunnels will presumably remain as ipip0, ipip1 and my vpn interface will still be tun0. Brilliant scheme.
So at one side we do not have old method to shuffle the names around anymore, on the other hand we also do not have any persistent names generated automatically.
You still can rename them, of course, just make sure it will not clash with kernel auto-generated names.
