I've installed eudev on a vmware vm migrated from Debian Jessie. Upon
reboot my eth0 is converted into a gibberish name which I find outrageous.
So IMHO there two thing that we needs to be discussed and fixed if everyone
agrees:
Let's keep the ages old network card naming convention by default (ethX is
quite fine, try remembering those new horrid names and try typing them all
the time, makes ones life harder)
Also don't you think rule files should be placed in /etc/udev rather than
/lib/udev? I think forking udev doesn't mean that we need to follow RH
people's bad practices, does it?

And of course many thanks to everyone that spent their valuable time to
make us closer to a system without a systemd infection! I'd definitely
support a non-systemd udev.
