And the consistent names change every single time some
developer decides he just has to rewrite the algorithm
to make it better, or systemd decides to engluph yet
another component and not be backward compatible, or
a kernel developer gets a new motherboard where the
scheme doesn't work and his fix has the side effect
of changing the names on thousands of existing systems, etc.

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 :-).
