If it's not 100% predictable and configurable by the sysadmin then it does
*not* provide "enough confort", as in an Enterprise environment this means
100% certainty that the system comes up with each networking card having
a definite, assigned name and that everything that depends on networking is
always going to work fine short of a hardware failure.
Randomness is very unwelcome in critical systems and in data centers, where
even a tiny percentage of random malfunction has to be multiplied by the
numer of racks and devices that are present to be deemed acceptable.
