This is not true.
The eth devices are numbered in the order they are discovered by the
kernel.
That is why they can change on each boot if discovery timing has races.
Agreed, but this is not my point. I understand that the devices are
initially named randomly,
but then the ifcfg scripts rename them based on the MAC, like
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:1b:21:3a:56:72
I thought that in the end, I can name the interfaces any way I want this
way.
Nevertheless, if fedora is moving to nm I should redo my network
configuration that way
and remove all the then unused (I assume) scripts.
Fedora moved to NM a very long time ago. Those ifcfg files were most
likely already handled by NM and starting with F41, they won't work at
all. Automatic conversion to keyfiles was added in F39 and should have
happened when you upgraded to F40.
