My only interest would be consistency: that the same physical device
always gets the same name, even if some of them come and go. Other than
that, I'm rather indifferent as to what they are called.

On routers and servers that I have run with Debian or Devuan, the setup
rarely changes. So there I feel it is not as much of an issue, as long
as the names end up consistent across reboots, updates, and eventual
upgrades.

However, on notebooks that I have run with Debian or Devuan, a single
machine can rotate through three or more Ethernet devices each with
different characteristics, any or all of which can sometimes be
connected concurrently.
