Huh? AFAICT, openSUSE 13.2 had predictable network interface naming and Leap42 doesn't. (unless our opinions of "predictable" differ).
Leap 42.1 still has systemd-210 (and everything surrounding that), like openSUSE 13.2.
But in Leap42 I get "eth0", in openSUSE 13.2 I get "enps0f1q4" ?
13.2 and 42.1 have that ominous patch entitled 1021-udev-re-add-persistent-net-rules.patch. TW does not.
Yet, 13.2 and TW are the ones where one can see the predictable enp* interfaces. Go figure :-(
Leap is SLES-12 based and most (nearly all) customers and vendors of SLES-12 had insist on using the persistent net rules. The predictable naming scheme had resulted in a lot of complaints. It should be noted that to respect those complaints was not my decision but as SLES-12 is product for customers and vendors I can live with it. This depends on the configuration of the project, that is this can be changed by setting the suse_version != 1315.
