People who are thinking of doing this should take a moment to consider
whether it will be better or worse than the default.
For a machine that has exactly one ethernet interface, this is a vast
improvement over the default. Your interface will always be named
"eth0" no matter what crazy things happen on the PCI bus.
For a machine with multiple interfaces, however, the original problem
that "predictable interface names" were supposed to solve is still an
issue. The kernel may not assign the names in the same order every
time you boot. In that situation, "net.ifnames=0" is not likely to
be an improvement. You'd be better off using systemd.link(5) files to
customize your interface names according to your own specific needs.
