I cheated; I use NIC teaming, and before starting networking, run a
script that iterates over NICs, picking up their current device
names, and scripting the if-cfg* files.

I had to do this when a few years ago, Dell was getting clever about
renaming NICs aggressively, and nothing could trust 'eth0' anymore.
Now, I always get a 'bond0'.

(Oh, and I also disabled NetworkManager, because, like systemd, it
tries to be Too Clever for it's own good.)

Overkill for most, I admit, but it make my installation media much
more portable.
