    Maybe the kernel used to give a chance to udev to rename the
interfaces and, for some reason, it stopped doing it. And the reason
might be there's no point given the new fashion of naming the interfaces
with complicated names.

    It remains possible to do what you want by the mean of a temporary
name and permutations, or by the method of Tito which uses several
temporary names, but is generic. But I agree it is irritating to not be
able to use Udev since it's sitting there anyway.
