* UNPREDICTABILITY
    it turns out even after all this there are still reported cases of
    interfaces changing their name on a reboot. All that needs to happen
    is that some buggy BIOS (or some new, less buggy version of a driver
    module, or systemd's naming policy) changes its mind about some detail
    like whether or not your hardware counts as the kind that should have
    an ONBOARD name. There are even reports of devices changing their
    PCI-port numbering due to other hardware being installed.

"... and if even so it remains broken, even then it's not our fault: or
it is a non-compliant device (with us), or it's a hardware problem."
