Currently, as I understand it, to get back the eth0 naming scheme, one has remove biosdevname as well as add the net.ifnames=0. Does that mean that with F21, we will no longer need the step of rpm -e biosdevname? The term "more or less" seems a bit unclear. I'm looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Networking_Beat as well as the bug report linked above, and from *that*, it looks as if it will no longer be necessary for the rpm -e biosdevname step.
