I suggest:
ethX/wlanX naming BUT:
Based on last MAC byte;
- When MAC ends with :00 -> eth0
- When MAC ends with :01 -> eth1
- When MAC ends with :0A -> eth10
- When MAC ends with :10 -> eth16
* When 2 NICs have same MAC byte (01) -> eth1 & eth1a & ... eth1b
* Anyway, maintain full support of
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

This logic does not guarantee 100% predictable naming (think about
removable NICs), but gives enough confort to a sysadmin deals any with
situation.
