I don't know about "less consistent", but I always considered it a 
feature in Linux vs the BSDs or big iron Unix that I could always count 
on the first network interface being "eth0".  BSD and big iron Unix 
named the interface after the Ethernet driver, as if that was what was 
important.

I get that network interfaces can move around on you, but I thought that 
was why they started putting the MAC address in the ifcfg-eth? scripts. 
  What problem did that not solve, that we had to switch to this new system?

Now I have to remember which *PCI slot* my Ethernet card is in when I 
run "ifconfig" unless I want to dig through the full listing.

Evil shades of PR#1, begone!
