I recently updated my desktop to f23, and it went smoothly, for the most part. However, it broke my mediatomb server because the NIC changed from em1 to eno1.
Is this something that was expected? It certainly surprised me.
In addition to the mediatomb configuration needing to be changed, I also noticed a more serious issue here: the firewalld zone associated with em1 did not get ported to eno1 during the upgrade. That could have serious unexpected implications for security.
In my case, it wasn't that serious, because my default zone was more locked down than the one I had for that NIC, but I can imagine scenarios where it could be a problem.
For the most part, the upgrade experience was great, but I thought I'd mention this particular issue for consideration/discussion, because I wasn't aware of the naming change in advance, and it could have serious consequences for function and security.
This is also a good reason why the default firewalld zone should be very restrictive.
