How about adding net.ifnames=0 explicitly on installation, thus
keeping the system bootable, with the documentation that the
configuration change should be (a) manually and (b) atomically?

It's fine with me to have net.ifnames=1 by default.

Btw, why the <expletive> is the only way to configure this the kernel
command line and no configuration inside /etc where one would expect
it?
