[Bug 1454254] Re: upgrade path to persistent network names

[god]

Just to double-check the net.ifnames=1 is ubuntu-specific quirk. Will anything break if I'll boot to mainline kernel?
What generates this 70-... file and when? I'd like to make sure it's not generated again after upgrade. Predictability of network interfaces (and correspondingly firewall rules etc) is of paramount importance for remote installations.

Title:
  upgrade path to persistent network names

Status in udev package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  One of the disappointments from 15.04 release is incompletely
  migration to proper plumbing stack. In particular, the lack of
  persistent names for network interfaces is especially annoying.

  Would be nice if clear workaround (install/remove some package for
  example) could be provided till the time when migration will finally
  finish and normal interface names would be available on ubuntu as well
  as old racy hell we have to deal with at the moment.
