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!
