Indeed. it seems predictable device naming is a problem so hard it has been
"solved" three times now. I've never met anyone who had the problem it was
designed to fix, although I'm sure they exist. I've been bitten by the
solution many times now. (centos in particular seems to be particularly
tricky; I haven't proved it but I could swear it stuffs Macaddr->ethX mappings
in the initrd to repopulate all the other places you've deleted it from).
Personally I think this is one place where the drawbacks outweigh the gains.
