There have been at least 3 different "immutable" name
schemes in the short time the whole concept has existed.
I finally decided to eradicate it and go back to eth0
and friends because it was infinitely more reliable than
having to discover yet another naming scheme in every damn
release.
Now my only problem will be that they'll probably keep changing
the name of the kernel option to disable it :-).
This sounds quite disturbing,
can someone from the systemd and kernel campus comment here,
as Tom claims, whether these are the facts?
