It will continue to work.... Just not support some new features.

???? The "ip" command has nothing to do with the device/interface name.
It simply lists information on all the interfaces available on the
system...regardless of if they are up/down.... There is no "right" or "wrong".

Maybe the question you should be asking is this?
I don't like the names that have been assigned to my network interfaces. How can I
change them to be what I want them to be?
