Do you think eno167778 will be more useful than eth0 to a new user ?
My God, why must I use eno167778, he will say? I must change
this to something I like. connection0 looks good.
And so he can. So where's the problem?
A new user isn't even going to see it. As long as the Internet connection
works, why would they bother to look at the interface names?
So the arguments about those names being for the new users are void. That does not help them.
