That's really not the case. It may not solve anything for *you*, but it does
address a real problem. Maybe not perfectly, but we can fix the bugs.
The first step is to realize that your solution is viewed as a bug by many
people. The very server people this was supposed to help will tell you that a
naming convention which changes the name if you plug a NIC into a different slot
doesn't fit their labels on cables and NICs. Not to disparage any vendor, but
moving cards to address thermal issues isn't rare. I know some sites like to
label slots so a failing NIC can be swapped, but honestly the days of failing
NICs on server grade equipment have been gone for a few decades now.
Any machine with a single NIC should get it named eth0, which is backward
compatible and probably represents the majority of Fedora users.
