Maybe, but I know I watched the interface names change
just because a new version of bisodevname was released
before biosdevname was engulphed by systemd. I wouldn't
So, actually, the biosdevname goal was slightly different, and focused more
on predictability across machines when possible. (And specifically on
matching the silkscreened labels on Dell server hardware.)
It also went through a couple of unfortunate trial-and-error periods where

be surprised at all to see a systemd update change
the names as well :-(.
That should not happen within a stable Fedora release and we'll treat it as
a bug if it does.
