Sujet: Re: [DNG] Predictable Network Interface Names - Stupid or good idea?
It sounds like a good idea in theory, but I see no reason eth0, eth1, wlan0, wlan1, etc should change. It could be as simple as deciding which of those to use based on some information from the device in the case there is more than one NIC. Changing that for no good reason is clearly a bad idea.

Personally, I'm not buying it. Freedom to choose and backwards compatibility is more important to me [not for sale].
