Sure, it is more error prone to work with enx"$mac" NIC names, but as
it's probably too late for complaining, I just made my router "future
proof":

backup /etc/:
$ cp -a /etc /etc.bkp

cd to /etc/:
$ cd /etc/

delete related custom udev rules
$ rm ./udev/rules.d/7?-persistent-net-*\.rules

define future NIC names as variables to avoid mistakes:
$ eth0_new=`udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eth0 2>/dev/null | grep "ID_NET_NAME_MAC=" | sed 's/ID_NET_NAME_MAC=//'`
$ eth1_new=`udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eth1 2>/dev/null | grep "ID_NET_NAME_MAC=" | sed 's/ID_NET_NAME_MAC=//'`

test run to stdout (commented lines are excluded)
$ grep -r ^[^#]*eth[0-1] ./* | sed -e "s/eth0/$eth0_new/g" -e "s/eth1/$eth1_new/g"

replace NIC names "inplace" (with commented lines still excluded)
$ grep -rl ^[^#]*eth[0-1] ./* | xargs -l1 sed -i -e "s/eth0/$eth0_new/g" -e "s/eth1/$eth1_new/g"

reboot

so far, everything seems to work fine -_-
