The interface had changed its name from eth0 to enX0, I guess due to this change in systemd v 250:

* The predictable naming logic for network interfaces has been extended to generate stable names from Xen netfront device information.

(ref: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v250 )

And probably this commit:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/d6eda677b32a0063a77cb639f37c9a454b180da9

I wonder if it would be nice to mention this in the systemd NEWS file or in the release notes, so people do the needed changes in their machines before rebooting the system after upgrade.

Can you elaborate what those changes are? Or is that extremely straightforward if you're a Xen user?
