As Jochen says, for "simple" machines with no more than one ethernet and one wifi, nothing needs to be done. For everything else then there is a problem that needs solving.

There is. Make /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules a symlink
to /dev/null and it will leave you alone. Do another for
70-persistent-cd.rules if you have a laptop and have external burners at
home and work. On the other hand, udev rules can also be mighty handy
for making sure USB-Serial adapters, android devices, USB sticks, etc.
show up at consistent locations when that is what you want.
